If Mozart were alive proverb

 If Mozart were alive today, I don't think there's any question he'd be writing for the movies. This was a guy who was always looking for ways to make money, and soundtracks can be a very lucrative field.

 We can afford to give songs away for free (and pay bands) because we make money getting them into film soundtracks and TV shows, and that's a pretty lucrative means of money.

 I think clearly with the success of videogames, entertainment people know that it's definitely a lucrative and popular field and certainly with all the fan-based websites and the fans writing in, I think it's taken very seriously.

 I do movies because I love writing for orchestra though it scares me and the money is good. I can't make a living doing just albums, times are difficult now for geriatric artists.

 That's where all the time and money is. Without question, this group will be more lucrative in the future.

 You look at Beethoven's sketch book and he's working things out, trying this, trying that. Mozart didn't do that. He simply wrote it out. Beethoven did not have the same abilities that Mozart had. And you know how much Beethoven means to us. When you listen to the Ninth Symphony, it's one of the greatest accomplishments of all mankind, artistically certainly. But he shuddered when he thought of the shadow Mozart cast over music and he felt pressure, just like Brahms felt the pressure Beethoven's Ninth put on symphonic writing.

 Please, no Mozart. This festival has nothing to do with him. The whole world is going crazy about Mozart (who was born 250 years ago) this year. We decided instead to focus on a great French composer -- Marin Marais. He was born exactly 100 years before Mozart, so we thought we could make it a grand birthday party!

 There are four movies that got me into wanting to make movies: Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Swiss Family Robinson, and Jason and the Argonauts. Those are the movies that took me to different places when I was a kid. I fell in love with movies by watching those movies.

 This win today has so many interesting, worthy facets, ... Bobby touched on Buddy coming in, getting a good ride. Was there a stronger car in the field today? Was there a stronger driver in the field today? My God, Buddy just would not stop, and it was eating everybody alive. There's something about it, it was I think preordained certainly. You could feel it. You could feel it from the start of the race.
  David Letterman

 I'm not expecting awards. I want the Philippine audience to troop to the theaters. I did not make the movies for that [awards]. I just want the movies to make money so that the industry can get back on its feet.

 No one knows for sure what direction this is all going in, but they all know it's going somewhere that's definitely lucrative. The big networks are scrambling in their own ways to get it all together to make it work and avoid getting left behind. For the moment it's an unknown.

 I have been told that a young would-be composer wrote to Mozart asking advice as to how to compose a symphony. Mozart responded that a symphony was a complex and demanding form and that it would be better to start with something simpler. The young man protested, 'But Herr Mozart, you wrote symphonies when you were younger than I am now.' And Mozart replied, 'I never asked how.'
  Isaac Asimov

 A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive. The young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
  William Faulkner

 So then it's a matter of, do you want to make movies? Yeah. Then you're going to make scary movies. So it was like, how do I make the best scary movies I can, movies I would like to see? I never went out of my way to make a single one. I don't particularly like them. My conviction is that I can do any kind of film.

 What does it really do? These days I'm afraid I can't answer that question. I don't think it does an awful lot. The record has traditionally been the loss-leader to focus attention on the tour and the other ways where you can actually make some money.
