The musician (-comedian-actor-composer-director-Californication guest star) Tim Minchin is an aspirational figure. He brings an unmatched level of precision and thoughtfulness to conversations, whether he&rsquo;s discussing word play or the Catholic church. And he extends that scrutiny to his concepts of success and failure, which I welcome. Tim and I sit down to talk about the intricacies of his work, from the satisfaction of composing the successful Matilda: The Musical, to the pain of working on a big Dreamworks film that got canned. He&rsquo;s poetic &mdash; and prophetic &mdash; about what we stand to learn from what we lose, and if that makes you never want to win again, well, so it goes. Tim&rsquo;s new album &ldquo;Time Machine&rdquo; is out now!
