At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?!

I think, when you're a young composer, you're told constantly that what you're supposed to do is figure out what your voice is. "What is your thing supposed to sound like?"

And it seemed to me, from a young age, that was what I was encouraged to do. You find a sound and that's your sound! That's what you do.

I have to say, doing theater, that's what you're trained to do. Doing film, when I first started doing it, felt like something else entirely.

When you're aware, from a young age, of how something plays in public, it makes you a young entrepreneur, whether you like it or not.

And if, when you're 13, you're concerned with building your brand, then "like" disparities matter.
