Ennio Morricone. "I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds. . . . I also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds - as you say, the coyote sound - so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie."
Les Paul and Paul McCartney. "I gave up the guitar in 1965. Didn't want to see a guitar. I'd go out and get drunk. When I came out of the heart surgery, the doc said, "Promise me you'll work hard." I said, "I thought working hard is what got me here." He said, "No, working is what will keep you alive." (Paul). . ."Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music." (McCartney)
