Alexandre Desplat Quotes

The first two projects I did out of my dorm room were mock film soundtracks.

For me, what people generally call sound design is just one component of orchestrating a score.

I've always wanted to go into film scoring.

I talked to the record company about what I had in mind. They said they wanted something lush. I figured the best thing to do was let them hear what I had in mind.

I don't think I could make a good film, but I could definitely score a good film.

It all started back in '69 when I worked with Jack Nitzche on 'Performance.' That was my first experience of doing soundtracks, and I've enjoyed doing them ever since.

When I write music for a film, I'm not writing a solo album, and I'm not writing a personal piece. I'm part of a team of artists. So I think like a filmmaker more than a composer.

I love putting the music together. It's like art.

I've built an 8-track studio in my house that's virtually identical to what they used at Abbey Road, and I also own the 16-track set-up that Led Zeppelin used to record 'Houses of the Holy.' I'm interested in producing, but I'm mostly recording my own stuff.

I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.
