I usually work on a film soundtrack for two years, turning in a song every few months, and that keeps my creative energy high, because I'm constantly rotating projects. The trick is to make sure I don't work too hard and get exhausted.
My films are so new and unique that I don't know where I will end up. Fear keeps me alert. And it's also a part of an excitement.
I like teaching and the contact with young minds keeps one on one's toes.
Exercise is more important than diet for me because it's a twofer. It keeps me in good physical shape, and it relieves stress. And when you're a representative of the public, there's never a shortage of things to do.
