We're always just trying to keep ourselves interested enough to make music that will excite other people in the same way that we feel excited doing it.

When things come back and we're in some small way cast as the originators of a movement, we don't take it as much as a compliment as some people may consider it.

We're not on a mission to uplift people, but music in general has such a profound effect on people.

I'm so happy that the first time Russell and I saw 'Annette' with an audience was at the Cannes Film Festival, and even more pleased that it got such a strong positive reaction because that's pretty much the top honor when it comes to screening a film.

The films that excite me most tend to be the films that seem like voices that we haven't heard of before.

There are so many projects that I say no to because they don't excite me.

If the script doesn't excite me, there's no point working on the music.

I hate a sleepy, nonresponsive, and silent audience because it fails to excite me as a performer.

Every day, teachers across the country excite their students with new opportunities and experiences.
