I rarely go to bed before 5 or 6 am. I am a girl of the night. I hate getting up before 2pm. And when I get up, I don`t have breakfast, just a slice of pizza. I`m composing my songs in bed, because I`m getting inspired when I`m about to sink into sleep. T...

Acting is still enjoyable, but there are no more challenges any more for me. No, none at all. I`m much more interested in painting and composing music these days. I`ve become what I always wanted to be, a jobbing actor. I`m just detached, I do my thing. I...
Anthony Hopkins
The songs of Bizet are by a French peer of Rossini. When Rossini stopped composing, he was living in Paris. He also wrote some beautiful songs in French.
Cecilia Bartoli
The most interesting aspect for me, composing exclusively with patterns, is that there is not one organizational procedure more advantageous than another, perhaps because no one pattern ever takes precedence over the others.
Morton Feldman
So I was really composing for full orchestra and of course I didn`t know enough chords or harmonies yet but I came up with some interesting stuff.
John Fahey
In the music I was composing I was trying to express my emotions, my so called negative emotions, which were depression, anger and so forth.
John Fahey
If you think about it, the word "composing" or to compose, means to put together. So, you have to know what to put together and what to leave out.
Jan Hammer
I was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a volume of Dickinson`s poetry. I came back to my hotel, read 2,000 of her poems and immediately began composing in my head. I wrote down the melodies even before I got to a piano.
Alex Tagliani
I try not to observe myself in the process of composing a poem because I don`t want to come up with a formula, which I would then be unscrupulous in using.
Thom Gunn
I have had some people tell me that composing music is easy, and that anyone can do it. Yes, anyone can do it, but few can really do it.
Allen Neuharth
I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.
Henry Flynt
Each prayer is more beautiful than the others. I cannot recite them all and not knowing which to choose, I do like children who do not know how to read, I say very simply to God what I wish to say, without composing beautiful sentences, and He always unde...
Barbara Porch
Composing music today is a fascinating business. As the technology gets more complex, I feel more like a computer programmer than a musician. But I take the sounds in my head and in the world around me and bend the technology into the world I want to crea...
Robert Rich
Being in the studio is okay but sitting in a room by yourself composing is a discipline that takes a certain type of mind set and Tommy has a great gift for that as did the previous guy.
