Quote

Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I'm traveling. I watch movies without sound.

I've been doing music for many years and after a point what is the motivation that drives you to compose and to do stuff? I did this song for the U.N., a fighting for poverty anthem. That's when I realized that I could do a foundation. And when I started the foundation, it was basically to fight poverty and to help - that kind of stuff.

How we approached this was I wanted this to be personal in a way. It's not a big, epic Hollywood score but really personal and intimate, and we thought guitar would be the perfect instrument for him because he's young and he has an undying spirit and all that stuff and we went on that feeling totally.

After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.

It's a very simple process. He [Danny Boyl] comes in the tube (subway) and then he sits with me for 3 hours every evening and then I work on something. Then later, if he likes something, I put it even more perfectly. I tweak stuff. So this happened for 3 or 4 weeks and the music was done.

I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.
A. R. Rahman
Image
I grew up on Bach and Beethoven and now I'm listening to more modern composers who I can't even name. But since I'm constantly doing music, it's difficult to have that quality time to listen to music and do classical stuff. That's the only reason I'm thinking of going on.

Music is something that takes you to a world which is very different from the world of hatred,jealousy, and all those negative emotions
A. R. Rahman
Image
When I initially read the script, it goes inside and comes out different things even without commenting on any stuff. And then, those pieces are taken out and then spread out through the movie.

Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.

I love the voice - it’s the most perfect instrument ever heard. It’s God given.

What is good is what it's going to lead to, like the song Jai Ho. If good numbers are going to come in the future, it bodes well for a lot of things. But then, who's going to maintain that. That's the question. So far they could never lead to an Indian song, like a normal film song in this that they can relate to.

I love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that, whether it's Indian or it's Western.

I think I would like to discover a new root where people don't get bored with people singing boring lines but something exciting. That'd be interesting.
