HIs belief in the future is inspiring.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

A correction to the thread title: It is Jon Burlingame not Burlingham.
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Burlingame on auto-pilot. Must've been temped with previous interviews.

It would certainly look that way. 1st paragraph is somewhat familiar introduction which then goes to the second paragraph, quoting Williams' extensive awards and accolades list and mentioning his recent collaboration with Spielberg. Burlingame recycles the age old praise and fame of Williams' most famous scores to remind the audiences who this composer is and then slowly but surely spreads out three or four central quotes from the interview itself in a few paragraphs, Williams giving very typical short and sweet comments on the collaboration with Spielberg and then Burlingame slowly builds the story towards finale with a new and hopeful quote from the Maestro, showing in this Williams' humility before all these awards and recognition, the composer rather talking of the bright future and beautiful musicianship and promise it brings.
Like totally autopilot.

Oh christ, he uses that in EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW! It was fine twenty years ago, but now whenever I read one of his interviews and I hear THAT phrase, my eyes roll so far back I can't read the rest of it.
