I've been really happy to be in that conversation with Scott [Derrickson] for a few months now. We started chewing this cud a while ago.

I'm not religious in any way but I am very spiritual. Music is holy to me. It's like my religion. It's sacred.

It's not abstract, you can't even grasp it - that's what music is to me.
