"When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer."
"Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success."
