I've made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.
I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.
The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
It's hard enough to get any movie made, and when you take on these tough genres - and I've done it a couple times - it just makes the whole struggle more.
I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good.
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.
I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.
