I always liked the "the corporealization of the intelligence that is in sounds" motto of Edgard Varese.
Essentially, it means that music is intelligent thought manifested through sound. Not necessarily a singular language, but definitely a form of communication.
Another interesting one from Iannis Xenakis: "Music is not a language. Any musical piece is akin to a boulder with complex forms, with striations and engraved designs atop and within, which men can decipher in a thousand different ways without ever finding the right answer or the best one,"

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
