My iPod's unbelievable. Seriously. The kids have put most of the music on it, but there's a complete mix of '80s rubbish and current day stuff.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
I can't sleep without the TV on. It doesn't matter where it is. I don't like silence. My ears ring from loud music.
Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.
We are serious about our music here in Philadelphia, and jazz has meant a lot to this city.
I was rather disappointed, because the one thing I wanted to gain from that opportunity was to add something to his music, and have him add something to mine.
I would say there's always a movement of music and fashion in youth culture - every decade inspires the new one.
They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second.
And you know, we'd go to church. We were Baptists. And every now and then there'd be a tent would set up, and it was the Holiness folks. And we liked their music.
If we are able to get inside the music and inhabit it convincingly enough, it will cause everyone to find each other in this new psychological space. And that's most exciting.
Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players. male and female.
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
I start with the music before I start writing the movie. It's such an important part for me, emotionally, to set up the tone for the movie.
Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay.
I'll tell you what I would do in a shot if I could. I would sing in the barbershop quartet in The Music Man.
I know my music probably isn't going to matter to the public after I die, but that doesn't mean I don't have something to offer.
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
Music can make the cerebral accessible, the subconscious hummable. It communicates our shared needs and desires as sentient beings better than any other medium.
Mozart has written opera, symphony, sacred and chamber music - not to mention his piano and violin concerti.
The fact of the matter is that 40 years ago, unless you bought the record, you couldn't hear the music. It was such a narrow track in comparison to today.
Style has always been very important to us. We grew up in the '70s. Music was glam rock, punk rock and a very stylish movement.
