dead_lizard 12 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just thinking of all the great and unexpected Williams one-liners over the years. Forgive me if there's already a thread for this. My favourite one at the moment is from the USC Q and A.Q. "Do you think there's too much music in films these days?"A. "When I'm writing them I do."

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 His chameleon adaptability was a prerequisite to longevity and success in Hollywood. We used to call him Gorgeous.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories.Is that funnier?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Ok, this is a good one. I'm tellin'ya!"I hadn't heard of either disco or Meco. When I was asked to listen to Meco's now-famous recording, I was a little apprehensive, wondering how a pop record could be made from "The March from Star Wars" and what it would be like. I immediately liked what I heard and sensed that a genuine communication was taking place. Meco took things forward another step by bringing Star Wars to a vast audience who otherwise would not have heard it in its original symphonic setting. I am most grateful to Meco for all of this and I am delighted that 'disco' and 'Meco' are now household words."HILAAAAARIOUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
