More quotes by A. R. Rahman
You can't be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.
A. R. Rahman
My list would be Russia, Morocco, Turkey, and South Africa I'm doing which is somewhere I've wanted to go, Australia, Japan maybe, and China, if I have the energy to go and play at all those places.
A. R. Rahman
Music is all about transporting people, speaking a language which languages fail to express.
A. R. Rahman
That was a very different emotion and I felt Dido's words would be good and I had a template with my voice in it. Then, when he heard it, he wanted both our voices together in it and that's the scene when he sees the boy and then he gets charged to go on that final cutting effort.
A. R. Rahman
My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.
A. R. Rahman
The music had to be rooted, and yet had to branch out,like the wild imagination of a child.
A. R. Rahman
Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other's experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination.
A. R. Rahman
All my life I have had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here
A. R. Rahman
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.
A. R. Rahman
These are the Rad instruments that are dying out in India. So, it's going well and I think now we are increasing the number of kids we have taught and of course we are helping out with other things too. It's based in India now. [The idea is to] perfect it in one place and then we'll expand.
A. R. Rahman
Since I worked with Danny Boyle before on Slumdog Millionaire, we have great success and everything. So, when I first got the script and the screenplay of Simon (Beaufoy) and I was reading it, even before the shoot, some kind of sounds came into my mind and I put some stuff [down] and sent it to Danny when he was cutting the movie.
A. R. Rahman
There were basically three themes. One was the sun theme which is the guitar when he'd get sun on his leg and it comes again in the end. And there's of course the lullaby which Dido sang, If I Rise. And then there's this driving guitar which is the motivation theme.
A. R. Rahman
No regrets. There is no time for that. Regret is boring.
A. R. Rahman
If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you...then, I guess the music is working.
A. R. Rahman
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.
A. R. Rahman
Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I'm traveling. I watch movies without sound.
A. R. Rahman
I love the voice - it’s the most perfect instrument ever heard. It’s God given.
A. R. Rahman
Music knows no barrier of age or culture. It isn’t about being politically correct or even making a statement. Music is what appeals to the ears and touches your soul.
A. R. Rahman
The more you know the less you talk.
A. R. Rahman
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.
A. R. Rahman
