Henry Mancini's quotes

[on Julie Andrews] I admire Julie tremendously. She's never hit a bad note in her life.
[In a speech during a tribute to Jerry Goldsmith, noting Goldsmith's versatility, musical genius, and ability to completely change his style for each score he wrote] Frankly, he scares the hell out of the rest of us.
[on the laugh-out-loud humor of The Party (1968)] That's what I get for writing a nice song for a comedy. Nobody's going to hear a note of it.
When asked "What's your favorite piece of all of them you've written?", Mancini said, " I'd have to say my favorite out of all the pieces of music I've ever written is "The Pink Panther". When asked why, Mancini replied, "Because I own half of it!".
