I go into the whole composer thing quite open to keep on going and keep on trying different things because you never know... the next idea you have might be the one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just have to take my chances like any other composer.
As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.
I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with.
I may not be a first-rate composer, but I am a first-class second-rate composer.
As a composer at a point where I can absolutely pick and choose what I want to do, I don't want to write about anybody I don't care about.
For me, I'm sort of a wanna-be composer, and I love being involved with the arrangements.
If you just want ten songs to fit somebody else's script, then I'm not really the composer for that.
I think a composer is always interested in his last work.
I don't really call myself a composer.
I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.
