If you have the combination of a great book and a great filmmaker, what could be better for the composer?  (Howard Shore Quotes) I had great inspiration from a Japanese composer named Toru Takemitsu. He wrote over 90 film scores and a lot of concert music, a lot of classical music, and he gave me a lot of inspiration, as well as composers from other countries  (Howard Shore Quotes) Saturday Night Live was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting  (Howard Shore Quotes) I have to feel something emotionally on the story to be able to write for it. I turn things down if I don’t feel I’m really right to tell that particular story  (Howard Shore Quotes) When you’re working on a film, it’s intense and it’s very all-consuming. There’s not something in particular  (Howard Shore Quotes) I like to do a lot of research on all of the films I work on. So, I like to read a lot. That’s always an interesting part of it with me  (Howard Shore Quotes) When you start on a new film, no matter how many you’ve done before that, I think I’ve done close to 80 films, but it’s always kind of a fun adventure  (Howard Shore Quotes) Sometimes you want to use the music in a clarity way to explain something in the film  (Howard Shore Quotes) Film music really is about point of view and you can shift it wherever you want really depending on how you look at it  (Howard Shore Quotes) I always go back to the original material.

It’s really important  (Howard Shore Quotes) Music is essentially an emotional language, so you want to feel something from the relationships and build music based on those feelings  (Howard Shore Quotes) You can find the whole world of a film in one instrument, or you can find a world of sound in the orchestra  (Howard Shore Quotes)
