It's nice I think when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
There are only two things worth aiming for good music and a clean conscience.
I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.
My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime for instance.
My loathings are simple: stupidity oppression crime cruelty soft music.
The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band the music and what we do.
I had to resign myself many years ago that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me it really does.
I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View ' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.
Honestly I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.
If you talk bad about country music it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
Develop interest in life as you see it in people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful poetic things to the heart.
We are also fortunate in being in quite a sheltered environment in terms of people moving on to do other things because there are relatively few companies in Scotland that are looking for the skill set that we've developed.
I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris like Alien had a lot of things that are similar although it's also got the horror element.
I like movies about longing and desperation and dark and light things stories about people struggling to raise children and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
You know I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor.
I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.
I did direct two short movies. I learned many things and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.
In movies there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet difficult undertaking requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us.
The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean it's not the way people say it is but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.
On movies you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.
