“I think I should be in a [Disney animated] film called ‘Space Shrews’. Where I go to space. With a load of shrews. And nothing really happens. We just get out and have a lolly and then come back. But it’ll be a musical […] the ship will be built out of my own hair.”

— Noel Fielding

“Standing in a new space,
Waving at the sun…
So you probably back in darkness
To where I belong.
Just by being with you
Pictures flow out of my mind…
Have we danced before
Long ago or in another time?”

Mike Oldfield (1953) English musician, multi-instrumentalist

Song lyrics, Elements - The Best of Mike Oldfield (1986)

“They say a woman's place
Is to wait and serve
Under the veil
Submissive and dear
But I think my place
Is in a ship from space
To carry me
The hell out of here.”

Laura Nyro (1947–1997) American musician and songwriter

“I think we (NASA) need to do a better job of getting the message out about what life is really like up here (from space). It's pretty spectacular.”

“I groaned with horror, doubting whether I was not out of my senses; but the Stranger continued: "Surely you must now see that my explanation, and no other, suits the phenomena. What you call Solid things are really superficial; what you call Space is really nothing but a great Plane.”

Edwin Abbott Abbott book Flatland

Context: I groaned with horror, doubting whether I was not out of my senses; but the Stranger continued: "Surely you must now see that my explanation, and no other, suits the phenomena. What you call Solid things are really superficial; what you call Space is really nothing but a great Plane. I am in Space, and look down upon the insides of the things of which you only see the outsides. You could leave this Plane yourself, if you could but summon up the necessary volition. A slight upward or downward motion would enable you to see all that I can see.

“I think my own way. I don't think like you and my music isn't meant just for the patting of feet and going down backs.”

Charles Mingus (1922–1979) American jazz double bassist, composer and bandleader

An Open Letter To Miles Davis (1955)
Context: I think my own way. I don't think like you and my music isn't meant just for the patting of feet and going down backs. When and if I feel gay and carefree, I write or play that way. When I feel angry I write or play that way — or when I'm happy, or depressed, even.
Just because I'm playing jazz I don't forget about me. I play or write me, the way I feel, through jazz, or whatever. Music is, or was, a language of the emotions. If someone has been escaping reality, I don't expect him to dig my music, and I would begin to worry about my writing if such a person began to really like it. My music is alive and it's about the living and the dead, about good and evil. It's angry, yet it's real because it knows it's angry.

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.”

Maya Angelou (1928–2014) American author and poet

“When I read the script for GODZILLA VS. SPACE GODZILLA, it reminded me of teenage idol films. In addition, the movie was going to have rap music in it. So, I thought, "Well, this is not my world, so I better not score this one."”

Akira Ifukube (1914–2006) Japanese composer
