Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.

The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons stratagems and spoils.

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

I don't care much about music. What I like is sounds.

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

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.

The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean it's not the way people say it is but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.

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.

In anything I've ever written all the characters sound like me which I don't think is a bad thing. It makes sense. But I had always admired filmmakers who made movies that didn't sound like them at all.

I have worked on very good movies that have been buried and I've worked on some resounding mediocrities that have been paraded through the marketplace like they were masterpieces.

It couldn't sound like a dog because K9 isn't a dog but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

In the morning on Sunday a drum is sounded at about 8 o'clock.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.

I can't record in the morning because I sound like Barry White.

I literally have meetings at eight o'clock in the morning and I finish at nine o'clock at night. It sounds pathetic but I don't even have time to go shopping.

I have mugs of hot water every morning because the studio is cold and also because it makes my throat sound clearer.

A real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning.

I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day and you go in and do a sound check and you do the show and then bam you're gone.

I don't even know what sound is much less what it's for. It isn't to make money that's for sure. I've never made any.

The first requisite of a sound monetary system is that it put the least possible power over the quantity or quality of money in the hands of the politicians.

I know that campaigns can seem small and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message believe me - so am I.

A system of capitalism presumes sound money not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings not credit creation by a central bank.

My dad is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. So growing up was exactly what it sounds like - strict household but a lot of creativity. They are so psyched that I get to make music for a living. My parents rule.
