Composer Quote by Woody Allen
“For me personally - because I do it myself - the scoring of a picture is fun. I edit the picture and when I've finished I go into my room and I have many many records - jazz, classical and popular music. And I have this all at my disposal. I don't have to get a composer.”

When it's finished I come in here [screening room] and we start with reel one, scene one and start editing shot by shot by shot until we're finished.” quote by Woody Allen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c60/woody-allen-176_cinema_i-never-start-editing-a-film-until-it-s_973537.jpg)
