The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.

Music is my shining light my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.

The world's a better place since I chose music.

There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.

Music is a fantastic peacekeeper of the world it is integral to harmony and it is a required fundamental of human emotion.

Music is the melody whose text is the world.

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through and you make of it a dance a dirge or a life march as you will.

Develop interest in life as you see it in people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

The reflection of the world is blues that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.

This land is your land and this land is my land sure but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

Everywhere in the world music enhances a hall with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world then it can only happen through music.

When you start using senses you've neglected your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.

In America we have so many movies and so much media about the Islamic world the sub-continental world but it's not a conversation it's a monologue. It's always from one point of view. 'If we don't tell our own stories no one will tell them' is my mantra.

Whenever I think about movies I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film you have a musical element to it not just on the scoring but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.

'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.

Part of the reason why movie bosses are so obsessed with crime movies is because they know that world and the criminals. And that's what they are - they would not hesitate to act illegally to achieve profit and gain.

I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous but they can change your world. They can change your views.

I don't make the best movies in the world but at times I do feel like I'm adding something to the cinematic community.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

If the goal is to get the best artists actors and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

I loved old black and white movies especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs the music the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
