“It's easy to get stuck in a rut when you're writing in one genre for too long. So, when you've been writing for science fiction for a long time and a horror project comes along, it's really exciting and rejuvenating!”

“When I'm thinking about themes for Elrond, Elendil, Isildur, these are characters that I think all fans have an idea where they're going to go. So I wanted to write a theme for them, and Sauron as well.”

“What I want as a fan is to be able to sit down and watch 50 hours or so of the 'Rings of Power,' then... marathon the director's cut versions of the Peter Jackson films in one day, and feel a continuous experience.”

“For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.”
