“I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.” — David Newman Quote

I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.

I want to write theater pieces, opera, or some kind of amalgamation where there is singing, music and theater.

Playing in an orchestra is where I learned the most about music.

I'm not very interested in pops concerts. I'm interested in special events.

I'll probably always write film scores. It's the one place where a composer has almost unlimited resources at his beck and call. When music you have written works well in a film, nothing can beat it.

The violin didn't keep me from doing things I wanted to do.

I hope I will always have the chance to play the violin.

I've always wanted to play violin.

I studied violin since I was a boy, and my dream was to be a violinist and to play.

I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good!
