Gordon Getty Quotes

My father was so much more than an accomplished businessman Picture Quote #1

It’s true that I tend to daydream. I’m the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It’s my style Picture Quote #1

I’ve managed to dodge the curse. Not all my family have. Of course, music helped me - music is all about civilization, about something worthwhile. It’s all about ideas Picture Quote #1

There is no change - I’m as deep or as shallow as I ever was. What’s new is on-the-job experience. This is what you gain with years Picture Quote #1

Nicolette, Kendalle, and Alexandra are my children. Their mother, Cynthia Beck, and I, love them very much Picture Quote #1

I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing Picture Quote #1

Both parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune Picture Quote #1

When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me something that I’d composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. I’m the same composer I was then Picture Quote #1

I want to make the world better Picture Quote #1

I don’t think events in your life affect your music Picture Quote #1

It’s true that I tend to daydream. I’m the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It’s my style Picture Quote #1

If you have more money than you need, you have to give it away. It’s a duty. I get to choose whom to sponsor, and I like to give to the areas that I know something about Picture Quote #1

I’ve had every advantage in the world, despite the 18 years of silence which were nobody’s fault but mine Picture Quote #1

I’m a terrible singer, but it helps when I have to call a taxi Picture Quote #1
