My favourite scores, they have very little music. I don't ever want to notice the music coming in. I just want it to suddenly be there and feel something.

I always liked the stress, the real high-stakes, get-the-orders-out line-cook job, as well as the ordering of the produce and everything - it's really similar to making music for a show like 'Hannibal.' It's like cooking; it's just like owning a restaurant.

NBC has not once given me a music note. I get the freedom to do what I want, and that's kind of amazing.

I only want to make enough money to make more music.
