“Going into 'Da Vinci's Demons' I didn't know anything about renaissanc...” — Bear McCreary Quote

Going into 'Da Vinci's Demons' I didn't know anything about renaissance music and going into 'Black Sails,' I didn't know about sea shanties and popular music from the 1700s.

On a network show, you can get six days to score an episode. On 'Outlander,' because it's premium cable and because of the way Starz works, I usually end up with a month or more for an episode, which is extravagant.

After 'Eureka' and 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,' I was like 'the scifi guy.'

It's hard to take a series of intervals that we all recognize, and arrange them in a way that is not so simplistic, to give the audience that's a little bit of a challenge but still retains that catchiness. Goldsmith was the master of that.

I believe in possibility, but I'm not sure I believe in demons.

My father had his demons; our relationship was difficult and fractured. But I don't ever think, 'Poor me,' I just feel blessed that I had my mother. She was such a great mum.

I'm afraid of the dark because I picture things; I see things. I'm a freak. I see, like, little demons coming out of the floor and other little things running around. It's scary.

After I watched 'The Exorcist' I refused to watch any other movie that had anything to do with ghosts or demons. I didn't even watch 'Ghostbusters' until I was much older.

Rafael Nadal, I see no demons in him. None. Unless he picks up the racket with his right hand.
