I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.

I'm very much interested in music specifically and wanted to make a film about it, but not in an atmosphere of censorship.

Music is half the film.

So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in.

I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.

In Hollywood it's really tough to change genres; you have to re-prove yourself.

I don't believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so.

I no longer do a film for the wrong reasons. I have to be convinced ethically and morally. Both the director and I have to be on the same page. There are just five songs in most films these days, and they have to be amazing. There has to be a twist in the screenplay. The editing has to be crisp. Your hard work should show, but effortlessly.

If you're doing a music film, you've got to be singing about something.

I've been auditioning for a few movies here and there. I don't want anything to get in the way of the music any more than it has. It hasn't really gotten in the way; I've been doing two things at once.
