I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.

There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater.

For me the visual is just as important as the music.

I think music is what takes the experience off the screen into your soul, into your head.

I can see the music. I know what it looks like. I know what color it is. The words come easy, the tears come easy, and the joy comes easy. The music tells you what to do.

I have a visual sense for the music. It has to stay true to a certain sense of period. I rely on a sense of colors and mood in my approach to the arrangement.

It's wonderful when music is intellectually stimulating. But ultimately it has to be a visceral experience.

I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

You can see and you can listen, but you have to have moments in which you feel.
