“I've composed a fair amount in my life, and some of them have made it on to the screen, some compositions that I've done, a few. And I like doing that. I had never really considered doing a full-length thing. I've worked with other people creating full-length pieces.”
“I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer.”
“Well, I'm... first and foremost I'm a theater guy and everything that I know comes from the theater.”
