Marvin Hamlisch's Quotes

  • To put something on Earth that wasn't there yesterday, that's what I like.
  • My whole life revolves around dessert.
  • Music can make a difference. There is a global nature to music which has the potential to bring all people together.
  • [on The Way We Were (1973)] I wanted to write something that was uplifting and positive. On the other hand, there is a tremendous amount of bittersweetness to that film, so it's a real duality. And that why I think the song - though it is in a major mode - is quite sad.
