Calming Quote by Marvin Hamlisch

“As I get older, I'm slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you'll see me be quieter just so that people will listen.” quote by Marvin Hamlisch — Download Open image
