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.

More quotes by 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
All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology.
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
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
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
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
I have to give credit to Giorgio Moroder among the first to make us realize the importance of music in film.
Hans Zimmer
As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.
Hans Zimmer
Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?
Hans Zimmer
I get all my good ideas sort of at one o' clock in the morning, and I tried for a while to behave like normal people.
Hans Zimmer
Get rid of the shitty sound. Life's too short.
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
I've spent my life trying to make things simpler.
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
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
When I was 13, when I was 14, when I was in England, yeah all I wanted to do was go and see The Who, go and see The Stones.
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
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
I try to communicate with the musicians the way I communicate with the filmmakers. I'm not going to say to them, can we be a little bit more presto here. Hang on, this should be a bit more exciting, or I try to explain the scene to them, or I try to explain the context the notes are supposed to live in.
Hans Zimmer
