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.

I've written a couple screenplays and half-finished plays.

I'm a very slow screenwriter. It takes time for me to write a screenplay. Also, I feel it's not my strength.

With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others.

Music runs through everything I do - I even think musically; even when I was acting, but, especially, when I am directing. Directing is very musical.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

The music I listen to while writing is really scene-specific. It's just a great motivator, a way to put myself in the mood.

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

Music is very influential to my writing, as are theater and film.

To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.
