  Amazing! I have followed Zimmer for years, and never...to this day, have I seen an interview so informative, so relaxed and so inspiring. To get a composer like Zimmer to open up about his composing is not common occurance, and though he usually seems relaxed and open to discussion in interviews, seeing him essentially working - playing at the keyboard along with the picture is spectacular! Thank you so much for posting this, as a struggling, yet ambitious composer, videos like this are motivational! Great work, I look forward to more!

  Amazing interview Anne. I wish we could see you interview every composer in Hollywood this way. It's so refreshing to see someone who knows something about film composing interviewing their subject. In the end, we get something so much more deeper, enriching, and intimate because of it. Great job!

  Thanks for this. Extremely interesting and informative. Seeing a composer of Zimmer's stature in Hollywood, talk so candidly about their work is refreshing. Despite the experience and vast resources at his disposal it's surprising to see how each new project can still daunt him. He's human just like the rest of us!
