I Wish I Could Play Music. I Think I Get As Closeas Possible With The Editing Of The Films. Over The Years Musichas Been An Even More Important Influence Than-or As Important As-film.there's No Doubt About It. Painting, Movement, Dance, Sculpture-it'sall In Cinema.

Well, I Think In My Own Work The Subject Matter Usually Deals With Characters I Know, Aspects Of Myself, Friends Of Mine - That Sort Of Thing.

And So You Try Your Best. Sometimes You Go In With One Thing, With One Desire And Come Out With Something Else. In The Case Of 'the Aviator' It Was To Create A Hollywood Spectacle, But By About The Second Or Third Week Of Shooting You Just Want To Literally Survive It. Because Don't Forget, I Also Go Through The Editing Process Too, And When The Film Is Released I Have To Talk About It. So, I Take All Of That Very Seriously.
