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.

More quotes by 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
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
Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?
Hans Zimmer
If I play you a piece of music, that's when you can truly look inside me.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Inspired music arises from an inspired movie which arises from an inspired script.
Hans Zimmer
As the seconds of our lives are ticking away, you have to realize that life needs to be an adventure.
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
As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.
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
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
