Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
Igor Stravinsky

FOr a while, I'd never had the opportunity to prove on TV that I could play the piano.
Maurice Gibb

For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.
Matt Damon

Frank liked me because I went nuts on the piano using feet, head, whatever I could find to bang on the piano.
George Duke

Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both.
Ethel Barrymore

Get up from that piano. You hurtin' its feelings.
Jelly Roll Morton

Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.
Joan Didion

Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.
Mick Ralphs

He helped make Living Things even more crazy than I wanted it to be. He added old-fashioned piano and classical folk music - that weird otherworldly vibe - all these elements got onto the record.
Matthew Sweet

He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not.
Matthew Sweet

However, I began composing as soon as I started taking piano lessons.
Gyorgy Legeti

I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies.
Vanessa Brown

I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.
Suzi Quatro

I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard

I also went to art school and learned to play a piano there, but I play by ear.
John Mayall

I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice. He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano. They were always very supportive.
Judy Collins

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.
John Tesh

I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.
Oscar Peterson

I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl's leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can't even play Chopsticks. But I've got a nice piano at my house!
George Clooney

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.
