At one time they've been the most important thing to me. So I can't hear our records on the radio, I can't stand it, because they sound so out of what everyone else is doing.
In a way, I pattern myself after all the bands I used to like as a kid. Every time they put out LPs, they had a whole new look and a new sound.
I never had any plans to become a producer when I was a kid. I wanted to be a DJ, like most other kids at the time. Then my mum bought me a Casio keyboard and I started to sample sounds that I liked.
I think when you get past your second album, it all becomes something of a routine. So you have to struggle against that, find a way of making what you do sound fresh and new each time.
Wallace: [as the BunVac 6000 labours] Sounds like a really big brute, this one. Give it some more welly.
Wikus Van De Merwe: Could you go a bit slower with the clicks there, it sounded like you said *three years*...
Cathy Whitaker: Oh, Raymond, Mrs. Whitaker sounds so formal! Won't you please... ask me to dance?
Andrew Largeman: They sent me away to boarding school. Sent me away makes it sound like they sent me to an asylum. There were no straps involved.
Mickey's Father: And you're gonna believe in Jesus Christ? Mickey: I know - sounds funny. But, I'm gonna give it a try.
Digging Bear: Stay. Corn Woman is to tired. Jack Crabb: She don't sound tired to me.
Billy Beane: [Suggesting a player for first base] Scott Hatteberg. Scout Barry: Who? Billy Beane: Exactly. The guy sounds like an Oakland A already.
Red: [narrating] His first night in the joint, Andy Dufresne cost me two packs of cigarettes. He never made a sound.
Kyle: WUUUUaaahh! WUUUaaaaahhhhh! Soldier: Hey, you hear that? Sounds like a giraffe's dying over there!
Han Solo: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I amaze even myself. Princess Leia: That doesn't sound too hard.
Doc Holliday: It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds. Wyatt Earp: Doc you're not a hypocrite, you just like to sound like one.
Alex Goran: I am the woman that you don't have to worry about. Ryan Bingham: Sounds like a trap.
Although it sounds cliche, the main thing I want to do is touch people with what I do. I want everything I do to be meaningful, and I want it to be about more than just myself, or the money.
But the Republican right-wing agenda, these people - Arnold and his patrons - felt it could be accomplished by circumventing the Legislature and spending money and organizing and giving sound bites.
There is no man more dangerous, in a position of power, than he who refuses to accept as a working truth the idea that all a man does should make for rightness and soundness, that even the fixing of a tariff rate must be moral.
To have a childhood surrounded by people like Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh sounds glitzy, but for years I wanted to repress it. I couldn't take that kind of power and success.
I don't want to sound too Oprah-ish or anything like that, but I really believe that if you have the power to imagine particular things, you have the ability to transform them.
