Bottom line

question that always

have us in the back of every conversation i have with anybody the

who wants to get into

during film music which as

how'd you get into film music

and

and honesty i can't tell you how other than.

You

you have to be you have to feel compelled to tell story

that's what you want to do

okay here's my lesson for you whoever wants to be a film composer

or even a composer and musician.

It's

it's a terrible career both it's terrible

that.

So few opportune cities you know and most of the time.

You know.

As not gonna work out all you going to be starving or

you're not going to you know you're going to get sucked out of your flat for not

paying the reds these are all things that have happened i'm speaking from experience

and the only reason to dirt as this because if you

don't write music

you will die

i mean literally

you have to be that.

Crazy i mean i i can't do anything i mean you can

you know i mean i never learned anything i can't have a normal job

this is my this is the only option i half and as much as on a movie i was

have this thing about executing pad be flawlessly you know i had that solo violin not

rocked out i know how to write an action score a conventional action scrub

but

as far as

am i have film composer all am i not a film composer

there is no plan b

you know

there isn't

that you know there since the

i learned dentistry in my spare time and i can

support myself that way

and i think it helps i think i think there's nothing wrong with the always being

right at the

edge of the ledge

and

and right from that position.

Hm

i tell you these stories and they'll funny and

you know

because they're all the the funny stories because we got threat

we got through it because because we had to

know because we failed a lotta that i mean

you know

the the weird thing is just as doesn't matter which score you listened to that

that is successful it.

And sounds easy i mean this stuff sounds incredibly

easy you know hey just came in one morning and dad was

it's not like that you know that they're

they're.

The first thing you have to do

if you decide you're going to write a piece of music are you going to write anything.

Is you have to make an agreement with yourself of.

That you're going to have the courage to sit that

and struggle a thought each

little note

because that they are just there

you have to fight for each note

and there's going to take a long time

and you're not going to go home and see your

kids you going to miss Christmas you're going to.

You know

you know your friends out partying and you're still like

try to.

Hunt that note down

and

weirdly does that does a like a whole part where it gets

really boring as well you know the invention part is fun

and dangerous than

the reckless

and then comes the actual okay now

know if.

Don all the

thinking and the inventing now after actually go and executed

and.

Here are so you have to find a barrels for instance of not over thinking the thing

because he didn't you need to keep the

the

the the danger the enthusiasm and the momentum going.

It.

Sometimes originality and you know like a great idea i mean that's all it takes i

mean what do you think got me through that awesome.

I had a

i was making coffee for standing miles and one day i said what what about if we

know

and.

From i want everybody stopped and

they listened to me and we tried the idea and.

I.

Didn't make it a lot of coffee after that i mean i i remember

a remain devotee.

You know the

games of phone and.

Iron man.

I actually didn't know he was a musician until

one night i i had gotten completely at i'm stuck on pirates and

i was.

Going home with

you know like

knowing you know i should just quit and

it wasn't going to have them and

and he very politely said

since i was leaving my room to

but i mind if he

played around a bit

and we all came in the next morning government scheme

Jerry bruckheimer.

Remain must say i hadn't gone to bed yet

is it about

and i said okay let's have a look at it and there was

it was brilliant i mean he'd taken.

He taking

my tune

that.

I couldn't make work to the scene and somehow just play.

Just by being brilliant and clever and

an original thinker

and

and and made something which face.

Ordinary of serviceable at best using go lipinski was here

into something where we all but

that's the movie

you know so i

think that's the last time

romita ever made a cup of coffee.

These other things

these

these are some of the things i wish i had really known.

I wish i had.

Known

that.

People are.

Willing to trust you

i wish i had known

that people are willing to oh.

Listen to you.

I wish i had known that people are

much more prepared to take risks and want you to take risk if you don't take risks.

They get a little bored with human they get a little bored

with you the audience gets a little bored with you and.

I think the greatest offense you can

commit as

an entertainer

i am not a concert compose i don't write

precious classical music

i'm in the entertainment business

and.

Make sure

that you are entertained it's not about.

Playing to the

gallery

make sure to

check with yourself

that the stuff you're doing.

Is actually.

Gets you excited

and and any everybody else will.

People will follow along.

If it's a compelling idea of people will support you in it

and.

Sometimes these comparing ideas

get me into a lot of trouble

and i paint myself in a corner

and then you have

your music editors you have your editors you have

your orchestrators

and most of all

you have the musicians who get you

out of

deep water.
