I have this desire in the back of my mind now of making music and film at the same time - putting the two together.
Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It's surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.
The business side of film has goofed up so many things, but even that's changing. It happened to the music industry and now it's happening to the film studios. It's crazy what's going on. But artists should have control of their work; especially if, ...
As the wildly favorable word of mouth spread, however, the box office receipts began to soar. First, fans of musicals came. Then the ever-growing cadre of Julie Andrews devotees. Finally, those longing for a happy ending—anywhere—began to turn ou...
Art, film, fashion, music are all going on and interacting simultaneously. And L.A. is very receptive to that fusion.
My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.
Most of the musical film work that I have done has been in this realm of what I think of as real family entertainment.
Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.
I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?
The only film I ever made for money was something called 'Music From Another Room', which I really didn't like.
I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
These things I sample, or clip, are things that we share - music, films, sounds. It triggers a layer of participation from the audience as they recognize the material and remember it.
Whether it be through television, or through music, or through dance, or through film, whatever it is, as long as it's the right project that makes sense, then I'm all for it.
I almost became a music major, but somehow I was so enthralled with the camera and becoming a director that I stuck with film school and theatrics.
In most films music is brought in at the end, after the picture is more or less locked, to amplify the emotions the filmmaker wants you to feel.
How about that? You can hear NFL Films music on everything from 'SpongeBob SquarePants' to 'Deep Throat.'
I've wanted to be Mick Jagger since I was 18. One of the things I love about music is that you don't have to be dependent on other people like you are in the film business. I hate being dependent on anyone. With my music, I can do whatever I want. I ...
What you do in your art - TV, music, film stuff - touches people. And they want to touch you. So that's a blessing. I'm okay with it.
I'd like to make a film musical. That's really my dream.
Hopefully each film can be given a musical voice of its own, which is not to say that the instrumentation is always unique, but that the relationship between the sound and the image is unique.
I love film, but it's bringing me away from music. Singing is what I'm probably most passionate about.
