I listen mostly to classical music.

Well lately I have listening to a lot of movie soundtracks.

I sort of enjoy being able to hear what other composers are doing and how they might score something differently than me. I enjoy that part.

I have tremendous respect for film composers.

I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.

I think of myself as a film composer.

I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.

I love listening to pop songs in Spanish and Italian.

I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.

When I think of Morricone, more than his using a specific instrument or a specific sound, it's his way of approaching music that sticks out.
