Text Quotes
I have mainly come from a theatre background, I did ‘Oliver’ here I played the Artful Dodger and I did ‘The Sound of Music.’  (Background Quotes) I started out coming from more of a concert music background. It just turns out that 20th-century music techniques lend themselves to scary movies and horror movies.  (Background Quotes) For me, music was always a second language. I didn’t have a musical background, and I started studying very late, at fourteen.  (Background Quotes) The Eagles, let’s face it, they were a pretty cool group, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie. I had this really eclectic background in music.  (Background Quotes) Music always stimulates my imagination. When I’m writing I usually have some Baroque music on low in the background chamber music by Bach, Telemann, and the like.  (Background Quotes) I didn’t want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.  (Background Quotes) The years I spent paying my dues are in the background, and so are my concerns about whether my performance is good or bad.  (Background Quotes) My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.  (Background Quotes) When I was playing piano, it was like, ‘I’m going to write a song using all the white keys.’ My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good.  (Background Quotes) I listen to music when I write. I need the musical background. Classical music. I’m behind the times. I’m still with Baroque music, Gregorian chant, the requiems, and with the quartets of Beethoven and Brahms. That is what I need for the climate, for the surroundings, for the landscape: the music.  (Background Quotes) I have the background singers of Ray Charles, the background singers of Smokey Robinson, and the background singers of Barry White and I built a choir around that.  (Background Quotes) At the time, I didn’t know that bass would not be enough for me. I’m not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.  (Background Quotes) I’ve always been the DJ or the bass player or the drummer, somebody in the background. I don’t think anybody who knows me personally would say that I’m particularly shy or introverted, but I’m definitely not like Mr. Attention.  (Background Quotes) The Jewish background is not that far from the black groove. Blacks are downtrodden, Jews are downtrodden, therefore they have something in common in that affliction. Being downtrodden often makes one more empathetic and sympathetic.  (Background Quotes) Perhaps because of my background as a graphic designer, I’m drawn to rich and beautiful colors  (Background Quotes) One day I was in Starbucks going through one of my books on accounting, and this beautiful young woman came up to me and said, ‘My accounting book is different from yours.’ Her name was Joyce, she had a background in finance and administration and ran a surgery center. Within a short time, we were married.  (Background Quotes) I like the idea of accessibility, coming from a lower-middle-class background myself, I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.  (Background Quotes) A producer is always behind the scenes, even more in the movies - nobody sees you. I didn’t even meet most of the actors. When I worked on ‘Top Gun,’ I never met Tom Cruise. You were always in the background.  (Background Quotes) Not being a genius, I believe in collaboration, and my background as a problem solver means I’ve never been afraid to work with people cleverer than myself.  (Background Quotes) In many ways I’m similar to Barack Obama, who also has a strange name but was raised by a white American mother. His background is far more complicated than his name would suggest. Furthermore, the fact that I was a child during the hostage crisis has caused me to equate being Iranian with being alienated.  (Background Quotes) As a fair skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I’ve always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, ‘I’m here, I exist, I’m a human being and you can’t just push me aside.’  (Background Quotes) I feel like I grew up being babysat by a television, and all I ever wanted to do was be in movies, direct movies, make movies, but it took me a really long time to be honest with myself about it because my background is that my family was very poor.  (Background Quotes) I’ve been shocked by film actors - 25 and under - having such confidence and cockiness to rewrite a scene. My background is more about the director being in control. It’s all about yielding. It’s an oddly submissive relationship in which you’re moulded, Pygmalion-style.  (Background Quotes) I don’t wish hardship on anybody. My background was one of being very difficult, very hard, and they were subject to the times I lived in. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.  (Background Quotes) In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.  (Background Quotes) My background is in acting, so I enjoy being able to show what I’m looking for. With acting, it’s very immediate when you show someone what you’re looking for, and the feedback is instantaneous as well.  (Background Quotes) Coming from a background of being onstage, you’re onstage for two and a half hours and you’re in it for the whole time no matter what you’re doing. Even if you don’t have a line, you have to stay in it.  (Background Quotes) With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it’s a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from.  (Background Quotes) In the story of Thetis and Achilles, it’s clear this isn’t really a safe environment. She’s gone down to the River Styx - the dead are being ferried across in the background. There’s something in this mythology that says that if you want invulnerability, if you want immortality, you pay a price.  (Background Quotes) I’m used to being a supporting player in the background. All I ever wanted, at the very most, was to have a small part in something where people were like, ‘Oh, right, that one guy, whoever he is, was pretty good in that.’ That’s all I ever really strived for or expected.  (Background Quotes)
