I don't really call myself a composer.

I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

I consider myself a composer.

I'm not an intellectual composer.

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 think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with.

A lot of what a composer does has to do with storytelling, and there are different ways of fusing music with picture to express different storytelling ideas.
