I began to write a kind of waltz and in a little more than an hour I had the theme written.
Maurice Jarre

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.
John Lasseter

I had to do this very aggressive, big score in a very short time, and knowing that in the beginning, middle, and end would be this very, very famous theme, but I still had to weave a score around it and make it work as a score was really challenging.
Danny Elfman

I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.
Henry James

I identified in a very deep way with the individuals I was writing about because the theme that runs through this story is of extraordinary hardship and the will to overcome it.
Laura Hillenbrand

I like theme parks. The fastest roller coaster I've ever been on is at a casino in Nevada.
Tia Carrere

I love TV. I know all the theme songs from the shows I watch. I'm not one of those who'd rather be a movie star. I prefer TV because of the rushed way of working-on a movie set, you sit around and wait and wait to do a scene because they're adjusting the lights.
Dana Hill

I paint according to the moment and the theme. I don't have any prejudice. Life concerns me.
Ralph Allen

I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the Pink Panther theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.
Jack Black

I really don't have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists.
Jimmy Carl Black

I set about seeking a thread, a theme, a style, in the realm of legend. Something that might allow me to give free rein to my juvenile sense of romanticism and the beautiful image.
Leni Riefenstahl

I tend not to know what the plot is or the story is or even the theme. Those things come later, for me.
Michael Ondaatje

I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record.
Ann Wilson

I thought I would reflect here on a theme most scientists enjoy recalling: the part luck played in their accomplishments.
Edmond H. Fischer

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.
Dwight Yoakam

I was asked by a group to write a song on the theme of brotherhood. This was before women's liberation, when brotherhood meant men and women both, so I wrote the song. Since I had always been very fond of the Passion Chorale, I wrote words to that great piece.
Tom Glazer

I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.
John Sebastian

I would say my theme has always been paradise lost, always the lost cause, the lost leader, the lost utopia.
Marguerite Young

I'm also working on a track for Howard Hewett, and a theme for a new NPR show.
George Duke

I'm singing the music publisher's theme song - it ain't a commercial.
Hoagy Carmichael
