Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.

Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.

I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
