I was pleasantly surprised after the book came out. It was like, hey, the home team put down a nice score.

It's flattering to be compared in any way to Tiger Woods, because he's the best player in the world.

The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs.

There are a lot of visual marks that have to be hit, and lines that need to be said in a right way - so there wasn't really any improvisation on the set when it came to the bulk of the script.

Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much.

The straight line is ungodly.

I think in general, lines are a bad idea. Especially if they sound like lines. Everyone's immediate reaction is to just kind of cringe a little bit.

One of the greatest joys of tennis is having a nice volley and not really keeping score, not really looking at the lines, but just catching up with each other.

If it's a real bad score, then it can ruin a movie for me, or, at least, it will draw a lot of my attention to the score.

There's definitely a thin line between being tasteful and tacky.
