I feel so privileged and honoured to have existed at the same time as the Maestro. They'll be talking about him 400 years from now just like we talk about Mozart and Stradivarius.

It’s so easy to be moved, by so much of the incredible music John Williams has created, for so many of the greatest movies ever made. He is truly a gift.

Maestro Williams is my hero and unquestionably a living legend. His work is unparalleled. ‘Sea Attack Number One’ from ‘Jaws’ is cinematic perfection and is my personal favorite.

I played my mother Beethoven's Missa Solenella, and she asked if it was John Williams. That means he has matched the greats. He is the person that really got me into classical music with Star Wars when I was 8, it's 20 years later and I still love his music... (Who else hears the theme from Jurassic Park when seeing a Sauropod fossil).

I swear, watching John Williams compose live at the Hollywood Bowl was just phenomenal. I loved all his music ever since I was little and hearing his music live was emotional for me.

Thank you, Sunday Morning🌞 and thank you, John Williams!🌟

The Mozart of our times.

Maestro Williams, all your music is important. It saved this life (mine), growing up in not so nice neighborhoods your music introduced me to the orchestra and a greater purpose in life. You sir gave that young Puerto Rican kid wings on which to fly on. Thank you for all of your work

If his music doesn't give you goosebumps, you're not human.

This gave me whole new insights into this man. He considers himself to be inferior to master composers who have passed before him. In future decades, I think he'll stack up pretty well against them, just in terms of day to day play time.

I didn’t want this interview to end.

John Williams will never truly die as his music will live on forever. Like a Jedi becoming one with the force

Time takes all things. It is a travesty that we will lose this man someday. It is a joy that, because of the memories, the melodies, and the talent he possesses and shared with us all, we will never lose him at all.

John Williams is the most legendary soundtrack creator ever!

He looks fit & healthy! The man has contributed so much to movie goers.

He's so humble I was mildly offended.

Greatest movie composer of all time, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Harry Potter, ET, Home Alone. He’s an absolute legend!

The them from Schindler's List is perfection. I just heard it on a classical station for the first time and it just moved me.

A true genius talent. Made my childhood more magical then it would have been without him. Thank you very much John.

This man together with Steven Spielberg created Jurassic Park and Schindler's List in same year... Let that sink in. I cry everytime i hear any piece he has created. No other composer in their life can create so many iconic themes like Maestro John Williams has created ever. Period.

"The music you've heard a thousand times can suddenly give you goosebumps again" I literally got goosebumps while hearing the Superman Theme!! Long Live John Williams!

His score for Superman defined the character and will continue to define the character for generations. Amazing.

When he conducts an orchestra, you can see he more often goes expressive. Like most conductors will flick their sticks or batons, but John Williams directs with both hands. Truly one of the best and the top movie score and music composer in our era.

Hes nailed it many times.

As you listen to his music, you can see the movie in your mind.

This guys music is legendary. Nobody will ever come close

The fact that such a master of music thinks he can always do better and is so humble, is amazing!!

2legit64 also Jerry Goldsmith..

"We really need a better composer than I am for this film" "I know, but they're all dead" Couldn't agree more! I love John Williams so much; a true genius.

John Williams is the Mozart and Beethoven of our time 😭👏

This is the guy who wrote all the music for Star wars, ET, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Harry Potter, Superman, the Olympics theme, Indiana Jones. If there is one composer in my lifetime I can say is absolutely jaw-dropping this is the guy. Yes we need to protect him at all costs he has contributed so much to humanity and our happiness

John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Howard Shore, James Horner.. are my favourite film score composers.

You composed the music of my life. Thank You Maestro! ❤️

He's 87. I'm already dreading a World without him. May he be the only person that lives forever. (I know he will... through his music) We're privileged by him still walking amongst us.

What a humble and funny man 👏 he's a gift to the world

Watching Sunday Night Football right now on NBC. Every time I watch the show, I notice and enjoy the John Williams themes throughout the game. It is but one small example of this man's genius. Who else living today has the creative powers to define and capture the essence of things with music, that words and pictures alone could never match in descriptive power? Great music has the power to capture our emotions like nothing else. Hence the goosebumps.

2:10 Something people don't get about musicians. I wrote one 7.5 minute piano piece technically in about 3 days, but I just kept listening to it for the next YEAR and making tweaks and changes here and there before I finally just told myself I needed to let it be. I'm still technically not satisfied with it. Hearing it reminds me of all that stress and all the things I would still change about it, it doesn't actually bring joy per se.

That was one of the most relatable things I've ever heard from someone of his status. Though I don't write music, I make videos/films for a living and I always find myself critiquing everything I do to the point where I don't even like it while most people will watch and tell me how good it was. I think that's just a curse of a creative.
