Quote

The most common reason that I turn down a film project is because of my schedule. If I can't devote the time to a score that it deserves, I'll pass. I'll also turn down a film if its moral position is different than what my own understanding of right and wrong.

I've been a full-time composer for many years, and I'm still learning all the time. There is always more than one musical solution to each movie scene, but my goal is to compose music that works perfectly for the director, and me!
