Music is so crucial to every film, I think.

Music is one of the important things for me in cinema.

I've always been real close to film world. I love film, and I will do things in film, but music is more satisfying. It feels more like me.

I love the conversation between film and music.

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

Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.

When I started out, I preferred to watch my films without music, as its presence tends to mask the underlying pace of the film. I felt I could feel the rhythm of the film better without music to influence me.

Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.

I love music. I think it's a higher art form, in a way, than movies. You know, a film you see once, maybe twice. A song will follow you forever. It's a magical thing.
