An Idea Is Something You Work On

I Am Unusual For A Frenchman - I Have Absolutely Nothing Against The United States.

I'm Very Happy In France Making Movies.

I Love Silent Cinema But Don't Hold It Sacred. Like Any Branch Of Film There Are Some Very Boring Films Alongside The Masterpieces.

Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great, Great Composer.

I Went To Hollywood. I Put The Action In Hollywood. I Watched A Lot Of Movies, Maybe 100 Or Something Close To That. I Have Tons Of Dvds Now At Home. I Don't Know What To Do With Them Because They're Not Useful Anymore. My Kids Never Watched Them. I Read A Lot Of Autobiographies, Listened To A Lot Of Music By Classical Era Composers Like Franz Waxman, Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman And Leonard Bernstein. I Listened To Only That Kind Of Music The Entire Time I Was Writing, Even At Home.
