“I usually try to read the script, watch scenes, or digest whatever material is available for me, just to see what emotions viscerally and involuntarily come up. I try to dig a bit deeper and see what else in my personal life connects to those emotions and ideas. Then, I go to the piano\u2014because my background is jazz piano\u2014and improvise to try to re-trigger those feelings, because I’m not a very emotional person in my life. But, I find in music and in movies, those emotions get triggered involuntarily, and I think there’s honesty in that. So, if I can re-trigger those emotions playing something on piano, then I feel like there’s honesty to whether or not it’s speaking to the idea.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
