Filmmaking is hard enough as it is. If you can find a group you love working with, it makes it just a little bit easier.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
The 'Jonny Quest' theme had a huge influence on me while I was growing up.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
When I was a kid, there was no DVD, no VHS. The only way to re-live a movie once it was out of the theater was to listen to its film score.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
When artists find other artists that they love to work with, they more than likely will continue to work with them throughout their career.

Quote by -Michael Giacchino
The very first game I worked on was for DreamWorks Interactive's 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park.'
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I was pretty lucky to have grown up during the 'Star Wars,' 'Indiana Jones' and 'E.T.' years.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
There have been several movies that I've done over the years that have got a bad shake - 'Speed Racer' was one of them. I loved that movie, and the fact it got such a bad reception was disheartening.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
There was a paperwork mishap on 'War For The Planet Of The Apes,' in that the end credits was simply called 'End Credits.' And that's what appears on the album. Once we realised that was out there, we were so ashamed.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
My great uncle, my mom's uncle, had an appliance store in Philadelphia, and it was called Peter's TV. They sold stereos and televisions and washers, dryers, all kinds of stuff.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
For some reason, as a kid, I felt outwardly embarrassed to say that I liked rock music. I don't know where that came from. For me, it just wasn't cool - orchestral music was cool.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I grew up with so many different sounds, and 'Lost' allows me to express all of it, the melodic and the atonal.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
You've all seen movies where the music isn't working with the story. And it's either because... the story isn't working itself. Or the composer kinda just wants to write whatever they want to write, not paying attention to the thing.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I grew up listening to every style of music you can imagine, and I have a love for all of it.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
People on 'The Incredibles' would ask me if I listened to a lot of spy scores, but no, I don't.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I started out as a producer. and I used to work at Disney. and I worked with a lot of the animators and went on to become great friends with a lot of these guys and worked on a lot of projects together.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I think that one of the things I'd learned from being so attentive to the careers of the people I've admired is the fact that they would say 'no' a lot. Early on, I took that as a cue to only work on things that I knew I would be passionate about.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
When I was a kid, I wanted to make movies. In particular, I loved animation and would love to have been an animator.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I think that to capture food in music, you really are capturing an emotional response to food.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
If you look at my credits, most of them are the same directors over and over.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
That's the time I remember as a kid, being so excited to go to the movies. To be part of that now is really an amazing gift.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I grew up listening to 'Planet of the Apes' and other scores, and it was fun for me because you weren't just listening to those scores, but you were also questioning what you were listening to. What are those sounds?
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
For me, the music is always speaking from the point of view of the characters. Rarely do you score an event.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
Because of John Williams, I began collecting all kinds of film scores. I listened to them when I fell asleep, and it was through my obsessive listening that I learned what all the different parts of the orchestra were. I learnt a great deal from him by just simply listening.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I used to do puppet shows as a kid - me and my brother would do them - and then any poor soul who came into the house had to sit and watch our puppet shows.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
'Lost' is such a thematic show that I'm always afraid that if I know something's going to happen at the end, I'll subconsciously write something in where someone who's astute will go, 'Oh, he used so-and-so's theme: that must mean so-and-so is coming back!'
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I have an uncle who was heavily involved in World War 2, so over the years, I've talked to him many times.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
Nothing can grab you by the throat - or heart or soul - like an orchestra. It's undeniably the most engaging and exciting way to bring a score to life.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
When I was 9, I saw 'Star Wars,' and it set me on a path to where I am today.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
When you're starting out in this business, it's very easy to want to say yes to everything that's offered to you.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
As an audience member, everyone I talk to is like, 'I'm so excited to see 'Super 8.' I'm so excited to see it.' And part of that is because of his drive to make sure that it stays hidden until the last minute.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
If you listen to a score from beginning to end, you should envision the entire film in your head.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I think I learned everything about comedy and timing and drama from watching 'The Muppet Show,' which was one of the best shows ever produced.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
If you have a bad story on your hands, you have a bad story on your hands, and no amount of score re-working is gonna save that.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I was fortunate enough in my public school that they had a full music program, and no one escaped it. It was treated as a subject that was as important as everything else, and I believe it is.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
That's one of the neat things about 'Call of Duty.' There are areas in the game where we were able to score the gameplay.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
Of everything I've done in my career, or whatever you want to call it, 'Lost' is the purest version of me musically.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I don't like working all hours of the night and having an unreliable working pattern.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I think the Wachowskis are two of my favorite people on the planet; they're the best.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
Sometimes people do things because they are sad or because they are upset or were hurt by other people.
Quote by -Michael Giacchino
I always feel like my writing is consistently influenced by everything I watched and listened to growing up, so it's just this crazy collage of everything, you know.
