But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity and that being able to join in musical activity along with dancing could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
Although I am basically self taught I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour light and shadow.
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.
I don't know what has happened to movies but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.
You know my movies are important on an economic basis on an artistic basis.
My movies are important on an economic basis on an artistic basis.
Where I live nobody who's fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies you may be influenced by it. I think it's so important to preserve your innocence.
The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me and I don't know what I would do without those things.
Movies are not about the weekend that they're released and in the grand scheme of things that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.
Sometimes in movies I still have to be the hero but it's not all that important to me anymore.
The will to succeed is important but what's more important is the will to prepare.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
Early One Morning takes time and I mean all things like that I felt were very important.
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.
It was important on The Shipping News to have my house far enough away from each location so I had this time in the morning to think about my shots and still remain open to surprises once I got to the set.
It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.
If you're changing the world you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.
For me the greatest revenge of all is having a happy adulthood waking up in my gorgeous turquoise bedroom in the morning beside a person who really inspires me. That's the best revenge a girl-loving girl from the Bible belt could possibly have. And importantly it's healthy.
Old friends pass away new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Money isn't important but you have to have enough so you don't have to think about it. Thinking about money is a drag.
I'd never had money growing up and it's never been that important to me except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you you will be rewarded generously whatever form reward takes which is not necessarily money.
We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.
