Music is extremely important to have on photo shoots - it brings the mood.

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.

Music is how you feel.

The way a musical can make us feel is unlike anything else, in song and particularly in dance. I think people fly through plate-glass windows when they get shot because movies don't have dance scenes any more. This is what we do instead.

I feel like I can see the music and can see how the character of the music actually flows. For me, that's music to my eyes.

Music is very helpful, not just for the actors, but the whole crew and myself. It gives you the tone of the scene. Everyone is focused on the tone of the scene when we are shooting, and we are having an emotional reaction to the music immediately.

It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you.

Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.

I get nervous when they start shooting piano players.

When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.
