Madrid is enjoyed most from the ground, exploring your way through its narrow streets that always lead to some intriguing park, market, tapas bar or street performer. Each night we’d leave our hotel to begin a new adventure in Madrid and nine out of 10 times, we’d walk through the Plaza Mayor.
With Frat House, at times I needed to make music that would reflect what these fraternity brothers might actually listen to, but still keep it within the realm of a score; it still had to lead the viewer through the scene, or just help create the mood.
I’ve always been drawn to stories involving brothers, which started with my first viewing of Sean Penn’s, ‘The Indian Runner.’ This subsequently lead to my working with my two brothers, Scott & Brad. I couldn’t imagine a greater gift in the business.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
I haven’t really had that many opportunities to play ‘lead’ so I guess I jumped at the chance. I have also never done any ‘sci-fi’ projects and thought it might be fun.

Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.
Some of the cases which have come to light of employers being disciplined or sacked for simply trying to talk about their faith in the workplace I find quite extraordinary. The sanitisation will lead to people of faith excluding themselves from the public space and being excluded.

If a guy doesn’t work hard and doesn’t play well, he can’t lead anything. All he is, is a talker.
