Alex North quotes
" Being an old radical, I like films like Spartacus. I could relate to the hero. "

Alex North
" Composers today get a TV script on Friday and have to record on Tuesday. It's just dreadful to impose on gifted talent and expect decent music under these conditions. "

Alex North
" Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt. "

Alex North
" I finally ended up in Hollywood in 1955. I used to do about two-and-a-half motion pictures a year. Now I've slowed up a little. "

Alex North
" I like what I hear as a resulting combination of these two strands... something of a combination of familiarity and, for lack of a better word, strangeness. "

Alex North
" I prefer to write music for family films. I like people. "

Alex North
" My best film composing experience was with Elia Kazan. "

Alex North
" The contrabass looked like a diesel engine. The only guy who could play it lived in San Diego. "

Alex North
" The picture Cleopatra started in 1961, and I had nearly a year-and-a-half to do that. I had almost the same time for Spartacus. "

Alex North
" The United States and Turkey are the only two countries that don't have some kind of subsidy for the Arts. The whole culture in society has made certain films more acceptable. I turned down so many films in the '60s and '70s. "

Alex North
" There are scores you have to write objectively without getting involved. "

Alex North
" There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music. "

Alex North
" To my ear, Ellery is a very classical player, if you accept the Webster-Shepp trajectory as such; however, mine is surely a minority view among U.S. critics. "

Alex North
" Today it's not culture; it's box office. "

Alex North
" When I decided to go to a country that subsidized music, I went to the Soviet Union for two years. "
