I like to think that my finest hour is still ahead of me, so I can look forward rather than look backward.

First, I'm trying to edit down about 7 hours of material which I made prior to the Cop days and find some way to get it out. This stuff is pretty out there, mostly sonic collages and tape manipulations.

And when that's working, the sum can be greater than the parts.

I do remember being in high school and trying to go to an Outlaws concert, but I was too drunk and ended up in trouble with the police at some truck stop on 95 in Connecticut.

And I definitely have an affinity with the piano.

For electronica music, David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain, which is pretty cool.

Yes, I was forced to take piano lessons for 8 years as a child.

I like to think that my finest hour is still ahead of me, so I can look forward rather than look backward.

But that's something that I like about scoring film: it makes me reach out of the parameters of my self, it requires me to do things musically that I wouldn't normally do left to my own devices.

And I think that I'd be a natural for scoring horror movies.

Also, differences of opinion can be creatively stimulating as well as frustrating.

When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way.

In scoring, I usually start with a sound or group of sounds, searching out what feels right.

And I don't know where I'm heading. I mean, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want in life.

But in my college years it got to the point where my friends and I didn't do anything without consuming a massive amount of alcohol before we went anywhere or did anything, and you know that.

I don't think I really know just how cool Satan really was when I was in Junior High School. Now, thanks to Marilyn Manson, it's no longer a secret.

So, through playing with Cop I realized that there is a potentially interested audience out in the world.

But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.

I'm from all over the Northeast.

I actually went to film school and was making experimental films for a short time, so it wasn't such a leap.

But things can happen in a band, or any type of collaboration, that would not otherwise happen.

As a kid, I used to go see all the jazz players, Oscar Peterson, Stan Kenton, Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespe.

If the finest hour is now, then I'll always be in it.

I think that one of the strengths of Cop Shoot Cop lay in the different, and at times, clashing personalities, Ideally, I want to have both ways of working in my life.

I guess professionally it began when Hal Hartley used some music of mine in his film The Unbelievable Truth.

Then I took 8 years of French Horn, first jazz, and then classical.

I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut.

Unfortunately, however, I have too many desires to make a good Buddhist.

I'm just like you, only I'm different because I'm me.

With Frat House, at times I needed to make music that would reflect what these fraternity brothers might actually listen to, but still keep it within the realm of a score; it still had to lead the viewer through the scene, or just help create the mood.

I've had a lot of highs in my life and a lot of lows, some pivotal experiences, and in ways I feel like I've already lived a couple of lives.

I think theater is a core need of a community.

Britain's legal structure is basically the same as in feudal times: laws are written for the elite.

What I have found most surprising is the amount of damage we have done to environment in the course of my lifetime - not even five and a half decades.

I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves.

I used to hate stilettos. It took me a lot of time to understand how to walk in them and look graceful. And eventually, you realise their importance.

If the House Republicans want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, they should make their case to the American people and elect a president and a majority in both Houses of Congress prepared to do that.

I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.

I came late to the genre of folk music.

I definitely could not write a character that was cruel or unconcerned with animal welfare. For me, not just as a writer but for the person I am, I love animals.

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

When we started off it was all nervous energy and we probably played everything twice as fast as we do now.

One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this.

Dubai Airport will peak at a maximum of 100 million passengers a year, which would limit Emirate's growth, but the new Al Maktoum International with its capacity for another 120 million passengers will allow us to continue growing.

I think before 'Saw' came along, there really wasn't a movie franchise that actually went out there and said, 'We're going to come out with one every year during Halloween and make that our trademark.'

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof, but then things happened and I came to the realization that I had to play every gig as if it was my last show. You have to start thinking that way, because you never know what's going to happen next.

And you yourself always be seated at the middle fo the high table that your presence as lord or lady may appear openly to all, and that you may plainly see on either side all the service and all the faults.

I get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.

Again, like I said, my life has been about being fascinated by objects and the stories that they tell, and also making them for myself, obtaining them, appreciating them and diving into them.
