More quotes by A. R. Rahman

Image
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
Image
When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite and commitment, the input reflects the output.
A. R. Rahman
Image
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
Image
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.
A. R. Rahman
Image
Music is all about transporting people, speaking a language which languages fail to express.
A. R. Rahman
Image
All my life I have had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here

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.

I didn't see it coming at all. I just wanted to have this new experience with this team of Danny Boyle, Christian (Colson) and Simon (Beaufoy). It was like an excursion for me from my normal routine and the Indian movies I do and that helped.

The more you know the less you talk.

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

Your best success comes after your greatest disapponitment

There have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.

I like music that is able to stir my soul. My music is a spiritual exercise
A. R. Rahman

Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.
A. R. Rahman

That's a sound design thing but then we wanted to do music that would not disturb it and at the same time drive it.

Image
The best way would be education and kids and all that stuff and then education and working education comes through. Then I started a music school and the music school now teaches kids to play the violin and the viola.
A. R. Rahman
Image
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
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.

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.
