“I can't write music unless I'm deeply connected to it and that connect...” — Eric Whitacre Quote

“I can't write music unless I'm deeply connected to it and that connection almost always comes from some experience that I have had or am having.”

“There must be four or five hundred choirs here in London alone. In a way, there's nowhere else on Earth I could go and get this level and passion for singing in the one place.”

“I truly thought I was going to be in pop music. And then I joined a choir to meet girls, and everything changed in the first rehearsal.”

“I'm a massive movie nerd. That being said, I could retire tomorrow because I wrote this movie 'Goon' and it came out, and it connected and it's a wonderful flick that I think is beautiful and then it had this wonderful life and it means a lot to a lot of people.”

“I've never been on a TV show for more than a season and you have to continually keep it interesting and you have to keep it connected, even as you change.”

“If you take a frozen box and stick it in the microwave, you become connected to the factory. We've forgotten who we are.”
