I think if you watch most of my films with the sound off, you could still tell what's going on.

I might play characters that are loud in the movies, but in real life, I'm not loud in terms of personality.

I am a sound freak. I could play around with sound forever.

A lot of people think I must be weird because of the films I've done. I get that.

'Psycho' is probably the best known example of a horror film whose exclusive sound was strings, and since then, it's been hard to avoid that. The minute you have strings as your primary voice, the comparisons are always made.

I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.

In anything I've ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don't think is a bad thing. It makes sense. But I had always admired filmmakers who made movies that didn't sound like them at all.

I'm definitely not your stereotypical actor: the loud, cackling type who strolls into a room and grabs everyone's attention with a great story. I've always been much more of a listener.

That pesky acting career has always gotten in the way of me doing something with music.

I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
