We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
In the mid-2000s, I kind of accidentally became a music editor.
The realisation that, depending on where we changed from one note to the next in a melodic line, the music could subtly influence the entire meaning of a scene in so many ways was like a door opening to this amazing new world for me.
For me, anything can be music! I can get huge enjoyment and be moved totally by the purity and perfection of some Renaissance polyphony, but equally I can feel emotion in the expectant hum of a big old guitar amp just before the strings are hit.
I worry about technical details - did I mix the cello half a decibel too high? Things like that.
I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.
A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.
I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.
The press is a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. Now, a watchdog can't be right all the time. He doesn't bark only when he sees or smells something that's dangerous. A good watchdog barks at things that are suspicious.
Any good movie is filled with secrets.
Every child should have an occasional pat on the back as long as it is applied low enough and hard enough.
