“I don't want to get corny, but my career really has been the personification of the American dream.”

“Sometimes people can see a movie of mine and not know until the credits roll that I wrote the score. That makes me feel good, that I can get out of that box every once in a while.”

“I'm usually the last man on the totem pole. Except for the sound effects and the final sound mix, the score is the last element to be added to a picture.”

“I'm a square. I always wanted the standard-issue American dream: beautiful home, loving husband, couple of kids. I met another square, and we got married; a year later, we had a baby; three years later, had another.”

“Republicans trust you to think for yourselves and to pursue your American dream however you see fit.”

“What some Americans don't appreciate is how strong the brand of the American Dream is around the world. I'm an example of how powerful that product is.”
