Music exalts each joy allays each grief expels diseases softens every pain subdues the rage of poison and the plague.

Every so often I feel I should graduate to classical music properly. But the truth is I'm more likely to listen to rock music.

With music you often don't have to translate it. It just affects you and you don't know why.

One often makes music to supplement one's world.

Life is like music it must be composed by ear feeling and instinct not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases though not often.

For I have learned to look on nature not as in the hour of thoughtless youth but hearing oftentimes the still sad music of humanity.

Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it time runs out.

My heart which is so full to overflowing has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

Music has charms to sooth a savage breast to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.

For me singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light out of the darkness.

I often begin movies with music in my head it's a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don't like to be too sweet in my stories and I like the abrasive clang the contrasting of sounds and cultures.

American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class age gender culture.

The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

Class is often invisible in America in the movies and usually not the subject of the film.

Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.

Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights and maybe pitfalls too.

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn't start until midnight or 2 in the morning.

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

I often write either really early in the morning or really late at night.

Internet marketing entrepreneurs have truly opened my eyes to just how important a quick turnaround time can be. Often times an interview they conduct with me today is online by the next morning. The interviewee is then able to start making money less than 24 hours after the initial interview.

Four hours of prosthetics every morning the jowls and the nose and it was very hot so they're having to attend to it all day and you're still petrified of so many things such as can I speak properly? Hitchcock never quite lost those East End vowels even though he had the softened California consonants.

A city with one newspaper or with a morning and an evening paper under one ownership is like a man with one eye and often the eye is glass.
