    • Trivia
      Has scored all of the films directed by Spike Jonze - except Her (2013).
    • Quotes
      There's just too much music in movies, almost always more than I think there should be. It's either lack of confidence on the part of filmmakers or a tradition of scoring things. It's always better to have less than to have more.
