Damien Chazelle Musicians Quotations

There are a lot of musicians in my life. But movies came first for me. That was my original passion.

I hadn't seen that many movies that really go deep enough into the fears of playing music or the language that musicians can use to treat each other or, like, the way that you can see it dehumanize and the way that it can feel like boot camp.

If you're an artist, you want to draw from real life; you want to draw from experiences, emotion, and it's something that a lot of musicians juggle with. I've always found it so fascinating.

I love the idea of using film language similarly to how musicians use music - combining images and sounds in a way that they create an emotional effect.
