I tend not to go look at movies before I make a movie. I'd rather not be specifically influenced.

One of the things I try to be very careful of is not taking a movie when I know I have no inspiration left.

I'm never going to be inspired by some obscure film, which isn't to say I don't enjoy that sort of thing. I just want to share my work with everyone.

I love movies. Movies have influenced me as a writer.

The films that have influenced me and the films that have motivated me and inspired me were films that resonated, films that made me think after I saw them.

I am inspired just by the way a scene can be interpreted by the actors. It can make a huge difference on the type of music that you write. It's best for me if I don't work at all on a project until the movie is shot and I have some sort of edit in front of me.

I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.

I'm not aware that I was consciously influenced by any director, though these things often happen unnoticed, submerged in the unconscious.
