Famous quotes by Marvin Hamlisch:

"learned about listening to yourself. You know the punch line but it has to seem as if you're going to find it."

"Bill Cosby, you name it, I never knew who would be there; but it was wonderful,"

"A Chorus Line."

"I told her I'd be over in 10 minutes."

"I told her I didn't do that sort of thing."

"I would love to find other pop stars who would be willing to tour with our orchestra. One of the benefits of James Taylor was that he had orchestrations. Many stars do not. My wish list would be exceedingly long, and at the top of it would be Kenny G and Carly Simon. Of course, the cost of some of these artists might be prohibitive."

"I auditioned and was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music Preparatory Division at the age of six and a half."

"I think that when NASA works on a moon shot, they know too well that all of the people working on it must do their job at 110 percent. Sometimes they probably put in 18 hour days, but they're aiming for the moon, and that's what counts."

"I realized that as I was getting older, I had to prioritize what I really wanted to do in the world of music. I concluded that I wanted to use my time to write shows for Broadway. Since I already have a very extensive conducting career that takes me away from New York for most weekends, I decided that I would not pursue film scores any more."

"There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests."

"If I'm within reach and can be helpful, I have a tendency to say 'Yes.' It's hard to say 'No.'"

"I'm not one of those people who says, 'I never read reviews,' because I don't believe those people."

"I started studying music at the age of five and a half. My older sister was taking piano lessons. When her teacher left our apartment, I would get up on the piano bench and start picking out the notes that were part of my sister's lessons."

"The biggest thrill you can have is to tell people one of your songs, and have them be able to hum it."

"Normally I can balance two or three things. The problem is when you're out of work and don't have anything to balance. I think people assume you're always busy. You go through dry spells."

"As I get older, I'm slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you'll see me be quieter just so that people will listen."

"Let's say music is needed for only 43 seconds of film. You have to score it so it is an entity, so it won't bother anyone when it ends so quickly. Or if a song runs 2 minutes and 45 seconds, but the titles run a minute longer, you have to arrange that song so it doesn't get repetitious."

"I have always thought of music as a highway with many lanes."
