(Singer songwriter, aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Starred in Matewan)

S&S: What is your favourite film soundtrack music and why do you like it so much?
"I like the music from Ulysses' Gaze (1995). I'm sure it has to do with the state of mind I was in, very hungry and open."
S&S: In what ways does music best enhance a film?
"The best way is when a movie couldn't be what it is without the music."
S&S: Which film either has music that you wished you'd written or is one you would like to rescore and why?
"The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) should be re-scored, and for the right price I would be happy to do it."
