Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet

Quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge about people, man

Quote by Sean Connery

I approach my work musically a lot in terms of the way maybe a jazz musician would approach an improvisation on a theme.

Quote by Andy Garcia about film, work

I had a Nagra, one of the first portable machines. I started collecting sounds without any preconceived notions other than a desire to insert into musical discourse a sound that basically didn't belong there.

Quote by Luc Ferrari

No, the great musical encounter was with Cage, who exploded all those ideas which were already starting to get a bit institutionalised.

Quote by Luc Ferrari

Stockhausen was a great guy, very rich in terms of musical imagination, all the different aspects of sound creation rolled into one extraordinary intuition. With a strict intention to be serial, but serial in an explosive way.

What interested me was looping the events in such a way...

What interested me was looping the events in such a way that each time they reappeared, they created new musical objects. The idea of tautology.

Quote by Luc Ferrari about objects, events, idea, time

When the Domaine Musical started up, I wasn't part of it. They were the major players in contemporary music at that time, braodcasting old and new composers' work. And I wasn't one of them.

Quote by Luc Ferrari about music, old, olderness, work, time

I think you should make more movies, more musicals. I think the public deserves that. I think this country deserves to be able to get out and foster that talent. Give them an opportunity to become stars, I think the whole idea is wonderful.

Quote by Donald O'Connor about opinion, celebrity, stars, chance, idea, country, public, talent

Quote by Evan Parker about air, education, force, police, day, people

My favorite musical. I don't. It changes all the time. I'm just a diehard, I'm totally old school, like I'll sit and watch, if they are re-doing Oklahoma in New York, I will be the first one there.

Quote by Trey Parker about music, school, old, olderness, time

No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, well it's obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some...

Quote by Trey Parker about naivety, order, writing, music, things, world, time

You know, and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the movie. That's the trick to doing a good musical is that, if you take that music number out, there's less to the movie there. You would miss it.

Quote by Trey Parker about numbers, music, good, good luck
