- There's just too much music in movies, almost always more than I think there should be. It's either lack of confidence on the part of filmmakers or a tradition of scoring things. It's always better to have less than to have more.
- If you ask film composers - and I have - whether they feel there's too much or too little music in the average film, they will all say too much.
