John Williams quotes about other composers
quotes about Erich Wolfgang Korngold
- "And I think one of the things I wanted to do with music is to write as well as Korngold" [1]
- “People say they hear Wagner in ‘Star Wars,’ and I can only think, It’s not because I put it there. Now, of course, I know that Wagner had a great influence on Korngold and all the early Hollywood composers. Wagner lives with us here—you can’t escape it. I have been in the big river swimming with all of them.” [2]
