He only finishes a picture 60%. I have to finish it for him.

Max Candy (Cape fear), one of my favorites characters, played by two of my favorites actor, Robert De Niro and Robert Mitchum. I wouldn't know which one would I take.

Really proud of this one. It's not strange that my original soundtrack was reused in the 1991 version of the film.

Love the acting. It gives me the chills every time.

I have been lucky enough to work with De Niro. Taxi Driver was a mad experience. "I got some bad ideas in my head"

Psycho is still one of my favorites. A film that you see once, and never forget.

Just thinking about how Sir Alfred envisioned the shower sequence as completely silent. What a waste it would have been...

Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" have always been an inspiration for me. Nothing but doomed love.

[Bernard Herrmann @BernardHerrman_]

One of my best. Still loving the film.

Citizen Kane's opening with just the title and no star names was unprecedented in 1941. It is now the industry norm for Hollywood.

[Bernard Herrmann @BernardHerrman_]

My first work ever. Still got it.

Good film music can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety or misery. Propel narrative swiftly forward, or slow it down.
