A good film demands its own score, and if you are a musician, your conscience will never allow you to do something mediocre for a good film.
A. R. Rahman
The more dollars the studio producers put in, the less freedom we have. If the budget hits $100m, they get scared - they'll take the existing score of a successful movie and expect composers to copy it, like wallpaper. The biggest challenge for any composer in Hollywood is to be as creative as possible within those boundaries.
It doesn't really matter the score or the situation: I got a job to do.
Aaron Judge
I think a top-class midfielder needs to be able to tackle, get up and down the pitch, pass, create opportunities, and score goals. That's why I try to do everything; that's what I judge my game on.
Aaron Ramsey
As a kid, I was always pretending to score the goal in the FA Cup final, and I managed to live my dream.
I'm not the kind of guy who cares how many hundreds I've scored.
AB de Villiers
It's never been about my own runs. If I can score as many as possible to get us into a position to win, then I'll be a very happy man.
I have never once dribbled the whole field and scored a goal by myself.
Abby Wambach
My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be.
When you can score three goals without the most prolific scorer in the world, you know you have a lot of depth, and it gives you confidence.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
I'd always like to score at Goodison Park, being an Everton fan growing up. Anfield as well would be a nice place to score.
Adam Lallana
We don't say anymore 'OK, we have a player who is unbelievably technically gifted, he will score us 20 goals but he doesn't have to work hard.' Everyone needs to put a shift in.
I remember when I told my mom that I wanted to come out, and my mom was a little hesitant. She was saying, 'Are you sure? Do you think that might affect your scores?' or, 'Is it something that you think that you need to do?' And I told her, 'I don't care. It's important to me.'
Adam Rippon
Obviously this all-time leading scorer thing I knew was out there and I thought, 'Man, if I stay healthy, I would like to reach that goal.'
Adam Vinatieri
The only number I care about is the scoreboard.
People tell me I'm the first in dribbling. But it's important that, after dribbling, I cross or pass or score. If I don't, then dribbling is pointless.
Adama Traore
I think if you score lots of goals but nobody likes you as a person then it stands for nothing.
Adebayo Akinfenwa
It wasn't until I was at 39 that I joined my first real hockey team. Which was great. I scored a couple of goals here and there, but I wasn't the most graceful thing you've ever seen.
Aden Young
A high openness score means you're open-minded - you see the world for what it is - whereas a low openness score means you're incredibly closed-minded, and you see the world the way you want to see it, regardless of what is actually going on.
Adeo Ressi
I don't claim to be a composer, and I realize my approach is pretty dopey in comparison to the true masters of score work. That said, if someone thinks what I do specifically would work for their film, then, of course, let's see what we can do.
Comscore, Nielsen, MediaMetrix and Quantcast studies all show women are the driving force of the most important net trend of the decade, the social web.
I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.
Religions have always been clearly on to this psycho-therapeutic score. For hundreds of years in the West, Christian art had a very clear function: it was meant to direct us towards the good and wean us off vice.
He's sharp, he can score and he doesn't worry about missing.
Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.
When 'Newsies' first came out, it just crash-landed with a thud; it won a Razzie for worst song of the year, and I felt such embarrassment. Fast-forward, and it's a hit on Broadway, and I win a Tony for the score!
You're creating a score that has to have an emotional and story logic to it. You want a dramatic arc. You want all the songs to push story forward. That's the same whether it's for stage or film or television or whatever.
The job, when you write film underscore, is to be ignored. That comes with the gig, no question about it.
Most things that I write are in very specific forms. A score will have a shape and profile, and then the more emotional and intimate moments will come.
I've been very fortunate as a composer to be involved with projects that have really propelled my scores forward. I'm very proud of it.
I was always proud of the score to 'Newsies.' The movie is good, but it was under-budgeted.
When the script was written, it was sent to me with asterisks marking where he felt a song would be appropriate. Before the film was shot, the score was written. I made a demo of it, so they lived with the music as they were making the film.
When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.
You're there to score runs. If you don't do that over a period of time, people will look elsewhere. That hasn't changed and that'll never change, whether it's myself or Jimmy Anderson, you've got to play to a certain level to be picked for England or even Essex.
The delight you feel in that split second you score your first hundred is so intense it can't be repeated.
As cricketers we fail all the time. You score a hundred every now and again but you get out between nought and 20 far more often. If you get 50, you feel bad because you should have got a hundred. Even if you get a hundred, you feel you should have got 150. So you're always failing.
If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score runs, and I've always managed to turn it around.
Everyone has technical flaws - no matter how many runs you score.
You want to score runs at the highest average you can. That's what motivates you to keep driving the standards.
The captaincy thing is brilliant, and I love it. But I didn't start off playing cricket to captain England. I wanted to score runs and stuff.
It is frustrating when you go all that way, you train, and you just don't turn up. It does happen. If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score the runs.
Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don't go to the editing room, you don't see how they cut, you don't see how they score, you don't see how they cast the rest of the movie.
The improvisational nature of jazz musicianship is such that a truly competent performer must be prepared to function as an on-the-spot composer who is expected to contribute to the orchestration in progress, not simply to execute the score as it is written and rehearsed.
It doesn't matter what the scoreboard says. I'm always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That's me. I don't think I will ever change that.
I had no interest at all in opera or singing. I saw my fellow students struggling with their scores, laboring to memorize operatic roles, and I thought, 'That's not for me!'
Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much.
Sometimes I score, sometimes I don't, so people are here to judge, but I know my qualities, and I try to give everything to win and help my team-mates.
You want to score in every game and to fight hard.
I never say I want to score 15 or 20 goals.
