You have to give directors and cinematographers a word blueprint for visuals, but I had to learn that from experience. ↗

It's natural for any actor that segues into directing to be an actor's director. You know how to relate to the actors. ↗

Every director works differently. ↗

I'm not aware that I was consciously influenced by any director, though these things often happen unnoticed, submerged in the unconscious. ↗

Directors and writers have a lot of stress as well, because they have people they answer to. ↗

But for me, the challenge is how you turn a character into behavior. Once the director says 'action', you just try to live between those two worlds. ↗

Yeah, I mean the material, directors, the other cast, and if you think you can do something with the character then you do it and go from there. I am looking forward to doing some smaller movies. ↗

Sometimes directors will hire you and say, 'Oh, we love your work.' And then they start to tell you how to do it. I say, 'Hey, man, back off. You hired me to do it. Let me do it.' ↗

So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It's still their ball game. It's their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director's impulses. ↗

You have to nail the right tone because sometimes when you just see his films cold, you're not quite sure. It's the same in - I'm trying to think of other directors with a similar sense - David Lynch's films, Tim's films, some of Cronenberg's stuff. ↗
