Hans Zimmer’s 5 most popular quotes
- I want to go and write music that announces to you that you can feel something. I don’t want to tell you what to feel, but I just want you to have the possibility of feeling something.
- A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.
- As the seconds of our lives are ticking away, you have to realize that life needs to be an adventure.
- You’re going to fail a few times, because that is the only time you actually learn something.
- I’ve spent my life trying to make things simpler. Because I find ultimately that complicated doesn’t reach the heart.
