Philippe Noiret by Richard Kalvar, 1990
"When I think back, I see someone who has correctly executed his trade as an artisan. I have done a few difficult films as well as some not demanding enough. The average is not bad. I am a popular actor & I like that idea."

Remembering Vladimir Horowitz on his birthday π
π· Philippe Halsman, 1966
"The music is behind those dots. You search for it, and that is what I mean by the grand manner. I play, so to speak, from the other side of the score, looking back."
Vladimir Horowitz by Jack Mitchell, 1988
"He hated to record in short sections & would do so only under duress. His artistry was worked out in the larger details. The smaller details came on the spur of the moment."
- his producer, Thomas Frost
Vladimir Horowitz by Ian Berry, 1982
