“Q: What made you decide to start composing your own film scores? Was it out of financial necessity, or because you felt you could capture the atmosphere of your films better than someone else?

JC: I composed the score for my first film Dark Star because I was cheap and fast. I talked to a couple of other composers but they all seemed weird. One guy had glitter all over him. Not that wearing glitter is a bad thing… it just didn’t inspire confidence.” John Carpenter, interviewed in The Quietus (via rocketsandrayguns)

(Getting this posted now in a potentially vain attempt to head off the dozens of people who are probably going to send it to me via Twitter, Facebook, email, etc. I love you guys, I do; but we do all read the same internet.)
