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.

As a youngster, I never dreamed there could be a career actually earning a living writing music.

Working in Hollywood for the orchestra world is a very time consuming and laborious job.

If I never do another movie, I will have had the privilege of working on one of the big Hollywood movies with top people, creating a world that can only be described as totally cinematic.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I'd done a ton of movies here in Hollywood, and I realized that every movie I'd done was somebody's else's work and someone else's vision.
