Cinema Quote by Alexandre Desplat
“Because I work so much, people think that I have a team writing for me, but that's not why I chose to write music for films. I chose to write music because I like to write music. So every single note that comes out of my studio is written by me, and I wouldn't be able to do two movies at the same time.”

![“I would stay [in the newsroom] until 3 am "in case something happened." But I mostly had nothing to do between 1 and 3 am so I used that time to write. And I chose to write about food and wine. Along the way I carved out a role for myself.” quote by Eric Asimov](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/178/eric-asimov-74183_cases_i-would-stay-in-the-newsroom-until-3-am_1549447.jpg)
