More quotes by Hans Zimmer
I think one of the things which always is forgotten in music class, is the first thing you have to do as a musician is you have to learn how to listen.
Hans Zimmer
The honest truth is that it was just traumatizing with the piano, with the authority of the piano teacher, getting rapped across the knuckles, and so whenever you put a piece of music in front of me, there's a Pavlovian reaction where it starts off.
Hans Zimmer
I've spent my life trying to make things simpler.
Hans Zimmer
As the seconds of our lives are ticking away, you have to realize that life needs to be an adventure.
Hans Zimmer
There's a power that movies and music has, that can move you and motivate you to look at your neighbor in a slightly more respectful way, and look at cultures in a more inclusive way.
Hans Zimmer
I've never had a real job in my life. I didn't learn anything, I was terrible at school. It was just this thing. Music was all I wanted to do.
Hans Zimmer
Having the great opportunity on a daily basis to sit in front of a blank page is terrifying, and at the same time really exciting. I can't actually get better at my job, because every time you finish something you start with a blank page, with nothing.
Hans Zimmer
Get rid of the shitty sound. Life's too short.
Hans Zimmer
Trust me, if you're working on a $70 million movie and you're the last guy, you feel all that weight on your shoulders.
Hans Zimmer
As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.
Hans Zimmer
Inspired music arises from an inspired movie which arises from an inspired script.
Hans Zimmer
If I play you a piece of music, that's when you can truly look inside me.
Hans Zimmer
The challenge in scoring a sequel is, how do you not get bored? The only way around that one is to go, Okay, let's throw everything out that we had before and let's just see it as an autonomous movie, and let's just start again.
Hans Zimmer
All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology.
Hans Zimmer
The writing gets done away from the keyboard and away from the studio in my head, in solitude. And then I come in and hopefully have something, then I wrestle with sounds and picture all day long. But the ideas usually come from a more obscure place, like a conversation with a director, a still somebody shows you, or whatever.
Hans Zimmer
If something happened where I couldnt write music anymore, it would kill me. Its not just a job. Its not just a hobby. Its why I get up in the morning.
Hans Zimmer
I want to go and write music that announces to you that you can feel something. I don’t want to tell you what to feel, but I just want you to have the possibility of feeling something.
Hans Zimmer
Never let your wife prevent you from buying equipment. A car will not buy a synthesizer, but a synthesizer can buy a car.
Hans Zimmer
Electronic music lends itself to an abstract way of storytelling, so it keeps evolving. Theres a whole movement truly driving music further and there is no other music innovating as much as film music
Hans Zimmer
A violin is nothing more than a piece of wood and a dead cat. But it's a piece of technology. So when computers came along, in the '70s, I suddenly thought, hang on a second, this is interesting. These things can become an instrument. So I just became very interested in them, and started, playing with electronics.
Hans Zimmer
