Usually, the extras have a different mentality. I had the mentality of an artist, because I was a 'ballet-rina.' But most extras are out to make a fast buck for nothing. They're 'atmosphere.'

It's strange how extras have become such a big part of the business. I don't know what I think of it. I mean, some of them are great, most of them are filler.

Because of the wealth of fine music spread through the film, working on it held all the fun and excitement of attending a great concert.

I think it's a big deal to have a great soundtrack for a movie.

If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.

I'm also very pleased that we were able to include a full orchestrated score for Dragon's Lair 3D. The 40 different music pieces blend with the action to make you feel more a part of the whole adventure.

In the end, you don't want music to be noticed as much as digested and integrated into the storytelling. And make audiences sit forward in their seats and enjoy the movie.

Post-production is kind of the death of hope. The money has been spent. The grand ideas are either there or they're not there. So music oftentimes has to compensate if there are issues, or it has to stay out of the way if the movie is working really well.

The music's job is to get the audience so involved that they forget how the movie turns out.

The acting thing is the side benefit of becoming a little bit well known with my music.
