Hans Zimmer has no plans to retire: "I’ve played all my life. Why would I stop playing? Why would I stop living a playful life? Why would I stop trying to invent things?" "Somewhere in the back of my mind, it lingers, a piece of music I have not written that I think is really good, but I don’t know"

As for retirement, don't expect it any time soon from Hans Zimmer.

With a career spanning over 40 years, from “The Lion King” to “The Dark Knight” trilogy to the “ Dune ” movies, he shows no signs of slowing down. I mean, there are good reasons because, as soon as I sit down and there is the blank page and I’m supposed to write something, I’m like ‘Oh my god, I have no idea how to do this,” Zimmer told IndieWire. At a live discussion at The Whitby Hotel in New York City on March 14, Zimmer talked about whether or not he references other scores when creating his own.
