Quote Author

American - Composer
Born: October 23, 1923

What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff's officer, or whatever.

Ian Hamilton Finlay

Write first, worry later.

David Farr

Do the job first. Worry about the clearance later.

Sargent Shriver

But somehow, I felt no inclination to be interested in it in any amateur way, let alone professional, until suddenly I became interested. And the first thing I did was to compose: not play an instrument, but to compose.

Gunther Schuller

Most people lived their lives like criminals: act first, worry about the consequences later.

Nicholas Sparks

I am the type of person who just gets on with whatever life throws at you. I have a 'do first, worry later' kind of attitude.

Rachel Riley

To be allowed for the first time in your later career to play leading parts in extremely popular movies is not a situation to worry about.

Ian Mckellen

I always go for that live, honest feel when I'm going for that first rhythm track. I'll never hold back on a part just so it'll be easier for me to double it later on - to my ears, it sounds sterile if you do that. I always want to get that initial track kicking and full of slurs, squeals and feel. I'll worry about doubling it later!

Dimebag Darrell

I don't like to surprise anyone with the music I compose for a film. That way, there is less trouble later on.

Henry Mancini

Write first. Worry about getting an agent or publisher later. Write it first. Prove you can do it and then others will listen. Tons of people talk about books they want to write. Far fewer are those who actually complete that vision. Don’t be a talker.

Po Bronson

I don't compose rap songs or party numbers. I only compose folk.

Diljit Dosanjh

Madam, you ask me how I compose. I compose sitting down.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

I like to compose, but only for myself. I write my own lyrics and compose the music around them.

Arijit Singh

The trick is to compose what one wants to compose and to get it commissioned afterward.

Igor Stravinsky

I compose for very limited people in Bollywood, as I am not a playback artist. I compose my songs and sing them.

Yo Yo Honey Singh

At the end. First start off and do your youth thing In Hollywood and then go to New York later. But it wound up being later, later than I thought it was going to be.
