"I merely asked him, each time, to completely forget everything he has ever done and reinvent himself, from the tips of his toes to where his fingers meet the keyboard. And he has never failed to do so. Listen and see if you don't agree."
- Paul Haggis
"I'd known of him... He was a fellow who had a fearsome reputation, a great reputation. And deservedly so!"
- Andy Partridge (XTC)
"I create emotion through music... whether it's high or low, anger or passion, exhilaration or death, denial or lust, motion or solitude. And when I can take a person on this journey through film or recordings, there's nothing more addicting, nor satisfying."
