I grew up listening to 'Planet of the Apes' and other scores, and it was fun for me because you weren't just listening to those scores, but you were also questioning what you were listening to. What are those sounds?

That's the time I remember as a kid, being so excited to go to the movies. To be part of that now is really an amazing gift.

If you look at my credits, most of them are the same directors over and over.

I think that to capture food in music, you really are capturing an emotional response to food.

When I was a kid, I wanted to make movies. In particular, I loved animation and would love to have been an animator.

I think that one of the things I'd learned from being so attentive to the careers of the people I've admired is the fact that they would say 'no' a lot. Early on, I took that as a cue to only work on things that I knew I would be passionate about.

I started out as a producer. and I used to work at Disney. and I worked with a lot of the animators and went on to become great friends with a lot of these guys and worked on a lot of projects together.

People on 'The Incredibles' would ask me if I listened to a lot of spy scores, but no, I don't.

I grew up listening to every style of music you can imagine, and I have a love for all of it.

You've all seen movies where the music isn't working with the story. And it's either because... the story isn't working itself. Or the composer kinda just wants to write whatever they want to write, not paying attention to the thing.

I grew up with so many different sounds, and 'Lost' allows me to express all of it, the melodic and the atonal.

For some reason, as a kid, I felt outwardly embarrassed to say that I liked rock music. I don't know where that came from. For me, it just wasn't cool - orchestral music was cool.

As a kid I was obsessed with monster movies.

My great uncle, my mom's uncle, had an appliance store in Philadelphia, and it was called Peter's TV. They sold stereos and televisions and washers, dryers, all kinds of stuff.

There was a paperwork mishap on 'War For The Planet Of The Apes,' in that the end credits was simply called 'End Credits.' And that's what appears on the album. Once we realised that was out there, we were so ashamed.

There have been several movies that I've done over the years that have got a bad shake - 'Speed Racer' was one of them. I loved that movie, and the fact it got such a bad reception was disheartening.

I was pretty lucky to have grown up during the 'Star Wars,' 'Indiana Jones' and 'E.T.' years.

The very first game I worked on was for DreamWorks Interactive's 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park.'

I love Glenn Gould. Max Steiner. John Williams. Louis Prima. Benny Goodman. Miles Davis. John Philip Sousa.

When artists find other artists that they love to work with, they more than likely will continue to work with them throughout their career.

When I was a kid, there was no DVD, no VHS. The only way to re-live a movie once it was out of the theater was to listen to its film score.

The 'Jonny Quest' theme had a huge influence on me while I was growing up.

I love classic animation, and I especially love classic cartoon music.

Filmmaking is hard enough as it is. If you can find a group you love working with, it makes it just a little bit easier.

I think the people in this country have had enough of experts with organisations from acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.

Learning a foreign language, and the culture that goes with it, is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children.

The accumulation of cultural capital - the acquisition of knowledge - is the key to social mobility.

It's often the case that successful people invite criticism.

The common fisheries policy essentially gave other European Union nations unfettered access to our fish stocks and - I would hope - that if we leave the European Union, we can once more see the ports of Peterborough and Fraserhead and Grimsby flourishing, because we will take back control of our territorial waters.

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.

Hanging may seem barbarous, but the greater barbarity lies in the slow abandonment of our common law traditions.

Jamie Dimon and J.P. Morgan are contributing millions to the Remain campaign because they do very nicely, thank you, out of the E.U.

Democratic self-government has manifestly brought benefits to India, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa, South Korea, and scores of nations all making their way in the world.

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.

You wouldn't tolerate an underperforming surgeon in an operating theatre, or a underperforming midwife at your child's birth. Why is it that we tolerate underperforming teachers in the classroom?

I think the principal purpose of education is to allow each of us, when we become adults, to shape our own future.

I absolutely haven't set out to burnish a reputation as a macho figure by picking fights.

I think, instead of the pessimism of the Remain campaign, we have an opportunity to think of the next generation. If we have faith in their talent, in their generosity, in their hard work, we can, if we leave the E.U., ensure the next generation makes this country once more truly great.

Proper history teaching is being crushed under the weight of play-based pedagogy which infantilises children, teachers and our culture.

The economic basis on which Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish nationalists made the case for separation was based on an oil price much higher than it is at the moment, so there will be no case for it.

One of the problems we have is children are not in school long enough in the day and during the year.

The current leadership of the Labor party react to the idea that working-class students might study the subjects they studied with the same horror that the Earl of Grantham showed when a chauffeur wanted to marry his daughter.

When I talk to teachers they tell me the things they'd most like from any government are a reduction in bureaucracy, support to help ensure good discipline and a reformed Ofsted.

Were I ever alone in the dock, I would not want to be arraigned before our flawed tribunals, knowing my freedom could be forfeit as a result of political pressures. I would prefer a fair trial, under the shadow of the noose.

I am in favour of migration; I simply want to control the numbers.

Too many people go to university.

Whether we vote to leave or remain, there are risks to our future; there are challenges in the global economy.

I don't think I'm a revolutionary, and I'd certainly be an unlikely one.

I don't want to have anyone else as Prime Minister other than David Cameron, and if people spend their time thinking about some of this stuff, then they are getting in the way of two things: one, a fair, open, fact-based referendum debate; and two, the Conservative government continuing afterwards in a stable and secure fashion.

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.
