00:00The greatest way to demonstrate how much music affects movies,
00:03play it absolutely with no music at all.
00:07And then go back and do the whole scene again with all the cues.
00:13You'll recognize the absolute brilliance of John Williams.
00:18The minute John raises his baton and plays the first theme,
00:25you just go, oh my god, here's another one.
00:31Star Wars basically would not be Star Wars without Johnny Williams' music.
00:39People say, how do you do so much work?
00:41I was filled with the love of music and the pleasure of doing it with great musicians.
00:46After he does music for my movie, I start to see my movie in his way.
00:53The first thing I played for Steven on this piano was this.
01:00And I played that for him and he said, what is that? What are you going to do with that?
01:07He's somebody who learned his skills painstakingly.
01:11I think people should see somebody who has worked alone in a room for 60 plus years.
01:19There's a lot of sacrifices and I think that he expresses himself through music.
01:26Music for a musician is like breathing. It supports us, sustains us, gives us energy.
01:32The fact that the same man wrote music for Star Wars, the Olympics, Poseidon Adventure and Earthquake,
01:39he always finds a way to tap into the essence of what makes it moving or meaningful.
01:46The main reason I think it's important to celebrate him is just to say thank you for that amount of joy.
01:55He's always in a process of discovery.
01:57He finds a whole new way of telling the story musically each time.
02:04It's the purest form of art I've ever experienced from any human being.
02:09Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.
