I always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus.

I think that creative work, music in particular, is a conveyor of inner emotional life. I don't feel one way all the time, so I don't want my music to feel the same way all the time.

Music is a very, very powerful tool that filmmakers use to sway people into emotions that they intend you to feel.

The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.

Whenever I make music, it reflects where I'm at mentally.

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty, and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there.

It always helps me connect with characters, to think about what music they respond to.

Music is almost like a therapy for me. It helps keep me centered and think straight. Before I discovered it, I was walking around, and it felt like there were 25 extra pounds of gravity on my shoulders. It's like you're mute or something.
