I think music and socialism and politics have always gone hand in hand. As artists we used to be way more instrumental in providing a soundtrack to the heartbeat of what`s going on in the world. We all don`t have to think the same thing but it`s important...

When I was 9 years old, my uncle put me on to the Breakin` soundtrack. The first rap song I ever heard was Ice-T, `Reckless.` From L.L. to the Fat Boys, and all that shit, I was fascinated. When L.L. first came out with `I`m Bad`, I wanted to do it, to rh...
Eminem
(On why he would not add rap songs to the soundtrack to "Scarface") "They said it would help promotion, presenting the film in a different way, but Giorgio`s music was true to the period, I argued -- and no one changes the scores on movies by Marty Scorse...
Brian De Palma
My Mom took me to see Annie on Broadway when I was little and I just wanted to be doing what those girls were doing. I was that annoying little girl who sang the (Annie) soundtrack all the time. My Mom would be like, please stop with the singing!". All I`...

At home, [we play] a lot of Disney stuff -- Raven, High School Musical soundtrack. My kids love Beyonce, but there are a few songs I can`t let them listen to -- they`re so materialistic! They`re all about chinchilla coats and BBS Slims [cell phone]. I`d r...
Chris Rock
What I wanted to do was similar to what I did with [the 2003 soundtrack for] `The Fighting Temptations,` ... That was both a gospel album and a contemporary album. Here we have old and young: an adult AC record as well as a rhythmic record.
Matthew Knowles
We`ve compiled the ultimate Tony Hawk music lineup, ... Whether skating their way through East L.A. or biking through Hollywood, the soundtrack will draw players into the game with its perfect accompaniment to the adrenaline pumping action.
Barbara Stader
We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn`t enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.
Roger Waters
We had a lot of offers that if we`d taken them we wouldn`t be happy. We didn`t sign immediately with the label (Polygram) that put out the soundtrack. It wasn`t the logical step for us. We entered a period where we worked really hard. We went on tour and ...
Lou Barlow
They`ve meant different things [to me], ... The Stones stuff was kind of the soundtrack to my life. I know that sounds kind of hokey, and some people say that about some of the stupidest bands, but it more or less happened.
John Flynn
The soundtrack to `Indecent Exposure` is a romantic mix of music that I know most women love to hear, so I never keep it far from me when women are nearby.
Fabio Lanzoni
One of the reasons why some of my films seem so slow is because the soundtrack isn`t expressive enough - maybe they need more sound or music.
Satyajit Ray
In horror movies today it`s lots of fast cut shot and lots of loud noises on the soundtrack. I tried to do the opposite. Playing with silence for instance.
Alejandro Amenabar
I wrote that song for my wife, and it`s what some guy who`s sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that`s more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack.
John Fogerty
I remember lying on the floor of the living room with headphones on when I was four or five years old, listening to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Kevin Richardson
I just get bored with what I`m doing. I like to switch. I did a lot of soundtrack work, and once I got that under my belt, I started writing songs.
John Cale
I come from the record side of the music business and doing a standalone soundtrack has been an intriguing idea for some time. But many of them are not that successful. We were waiting for the right opportunity.

Barbara Stader
But I would lie on the floor and analyze everything. I`d listen to all the strings and the background vocals on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and try to pick out the different instruments.
Kevin Richardson
A soundtrack can carry a visual along, be an unforgettable addition to the film and sometimes there is a small moment of something really great, which exists as beautiful music on its own merit.
