Bernard Herrmann Quotes

Your views are as narrow as your tie.
Bernard Herrmann 

“In California, they like to pigeonhole you. From the time I began working for Hitchcock, they decided I was a big suspense man. On other occasions, I've had fantasies of bittersweet romantic stories. I think I'd enjoy writing a good comedy score, but I've never had the luck to be offered such films. Mancini gets the cheerful ones.”
Bernard Herrmann
