More quotes by Hans Zimmer
I have to give credit to Giorgio Moroder among the first to make us realize the importance of music in film.
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
The first thing I think about is music, and the last thing I think about is music. I'm like some Monk. I don't see a lot of daylight. I hang out with musicians, I hang out with directors and I just try to spend as much of my life as possible playing music.
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
Anything can become a musical sound. The wind on telegraph wires is a great sound get it into your machine and play it and it becomes interesting.
Hans Zimmer
I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It's a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I'm writing.
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
You can only make a good noise on the guitar if you're committed. Little careful noise doesn't work. You have to be bold.
Hans Zimmer
You always hear these stories of how Hollywood is so merciless on composers and how they all get beaten up. Nobody beats me up as much as I beat myself up. This is what I love doing and I have one life to do it in, and I better do it right. I better do it well.
Hans Zimmer
What's the point of getting up in the morning unless you're gonna have an adventure? As the moments of our life are ticking away you have to be aware that it 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
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
As the seconds of our lives are ticking away, you have to realize that life needs to be an adventure.
Hans Zimmer
All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology.
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
Get rid of the shitty sound. Life's too short.
Hans Zimmer
As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.
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
The rules are: The more playful we get, the more we can get rid of the rules.
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
