Personal Quote:
I wish I had some great words of advice. The only advice I have ever been able to give anybody is to focus on writing music, and if you're writing a movie score particularly, don't worry about the picture. Just write great music and the rest will take care of itself.Trivia:
A famously fast worker, Howard is often called upon to provide last-minute replacement scores for films, or to add to existing soundtracks. See more »Trademark:
Never conducts his own music See more »Star Sign:
