Quote

I have to say that movies have as much impact on me as music. And that I learned as much about narrative from movies as I did from reading novels, how to arrange stories, how to juxtapose things.

I have been as influenced by music and films as by books.

I've always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.

My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.

I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies.

Being a musician, people ask you a lot about what musicians inspire you, and there's plenty of musicians that I love and respect, but I think that I'm the most inspired by cinema.

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

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

Music was very influential on me as a kid.

Music has always been a huge passion in my life. I've just had such success with my acting that it's really been right alongside of it, and I've always been writing and playing and singing.
