Well, American composers are the best composers. At this time in the world, we are where the energy is. We are the most diverse, the most iconoclastic, the most maverick, and the most skillful.

David Del Tredici

All great composers of the past spent most of their time studying. Feeling alone won't do the job. A man also needs technique.

George Gershwin

I know people will criticise when you play bad; that is part of this job, and I am fine with that. That is not a problem. The problem is the insults. That is what hurts the most.

Edin Dzeko

I've got a collection of songs that I've had, I keep adding to and they're all great American composers. I wanted to showcase American composers and I've done that on a lot of my records and played things by American composers that I really respect.

Charlie Haden

It just so happens that most of the Democrats happen to be aligned with the "America is the problem in the world" side. And most of the pro-Trumpers happen to believe that America is the solution to the problems in the world.

Rush Limbaugh

We have reached a moment in our history where we think that every problem in America has to have a federal government solution. Every problem in America does not have a federal government solution. In fact, most problems in America do not have a federal government solution and many of them are created by the federal government to begin with.

Marco Rubio

What [Donald] Trump is essentially saying is what has always been the case: America is the solution to the problems of the world. But to [Barack] Obama and Hillary [Clinton] and many on the left, America's the problem. America and its superpower status is the problem in the world.

Rush Limbaugh

The most important step in getting a job done is the recognition of the problem. Once I recognize a problem I usually can think of someone who can work it out better than I could.

Leo Szilard

There are people inside the administration that think it is their job to save America from the President. That is not their job. Their job is to inject this President into America so that he can explain his views properly and his policies so that we can transform America and drain the swamp and make the system fairer for the middle and lower income people.

Anthony Scaramucci

Greatness is accomplishing the unrequired - doing what is right beyond what is expected.

Seth Moulton

I think the job of leadership is to expand what can be talked about and to get consensus on the nature of the problem, and that is most of the job. Because once you do that, once you have diagnosis, treatment options are obvious.

Jim Cooper

Composers dialogue - and obsessively, bitterly argue - with other composers, often over the span of several centuries.

Brian Ferneyhough

Communists love to make films about composers, because composers compose music and don't talk subversive things.

Milos Forman

Communists love to make films about composers because composers compose music and don't talk subversive things.

Milos Forman

When we look at the arts and letters in America, especially if we look at poetry, and poetry set to music, this dialogue, we have this very powerful beautiful, eclectic, diary, or narration of being in America, being American, participating in America, becoming more of America and also as an American, the American creative spirit, which is quite interesting. Our composers and poets have spent more time writing and thinking and speaking out of what it means to be a composer or poet as well as to be an American, or a composer or poet In America; both relationships.

Thomas Hampson

I've said numerous times the hardest job in America isn't being a professional athlete. It's not being a matador or having some job that puts your life at risk. The hardest job in America is being black, because it's the one thing you can't outrun.

Shannon Sharpe
