Maestro 2023 Movie Quotes
Felicia: I love your smell.
Leonard: You do?
Felicia: I do. It’s my father. Isn’t that odd? I used to just love … wrapping myself up in his trench coat, when he would walk in the door at night from work … That smell would intoxicate me. I always associated it with feeling safe.
Kouss: Lenny, you are responsible on account of your gifts. He can be the first great American conductor. But he would have to conduct his life in such a way that when he comes out on stage to lead his orchestra, he can truthfully say to himself, “My life and my work are clean.”
Leonard: So, how long do we have to do this for?
Felicia: Well, we need to build up a very strong connection.
Shirley: Dick is rehearsing his new Broadway show with Eva Gabor, and he is not long for this marriage and, well, I think he is your type.
Felicia: What type is that?
Shirley: Same as mine, unavailable.
Leonard: If it’s fear that’s stopping you …
Felicia: There are many things stopping me but fear isn’t one of them. I wouldn’t be standing here in front of you … I wouldn’t even be in New York City if fear got the better of me. It’s just not that easy. We’d be fools not to think that luck plays a part as well as talent and determination.
Leonard: I’m a perfect example of that.
Felicia: You must be joking.
Leonard: If Bruno Walter hadn’t gotten sick that fateful day and Rodziński snowed in upstate, I never would’ve had my debut. I’d be teaching piano to little eight-year-olds who complain.
Felicia: If it wasn’t that day, it would’ve been another.
Leonard: Is that what you think?
Felicia: Yes, I know it.
Leonard: Really?
Felicia: Of course. And don’t forget … you are a man.

Quotes from Maestro film on Netflix
Leonard Bernstein: Hold on a sec. You made an exception for me?
Felicia Montealegre: I thought maybe you were worth making an exception for.
Edward: Lenny, what’s the big difference in the life of Composer Bernstein and Conductor Bernstein?
Leonard Bernstein: Well, I suppose it’s a difference. It’s… a personality difference which occurs between any composer versus any… or any creator versus any performer. Any performer, whether it’s Toscanini or Tallulah Bankhead, whoever it is, leads a kind of public life. An extrovert life, if you will. It’s an oversimplified word, but something like that. Whereas a creative person sits alone in this great studio that you see here and writes all by himself and communicates with the world in a very private way and lives a rather grand inner life rather than a grand outer life. And if you carry around both personalities … I suppose that means you become a schizophrenic, and that’s the end of it.
Leonard Bernstein: So, I had no choice but to become a composite of adopted speech, manner and outlook on life, a composite, which enables me to be many things at once. And that’s why, we, you and I, are able to endure and survive. Because the world wants us to be only one thing and I find that deplorable. I find you very attractive, Felicia.
Leonard: It’s two, darling. It’s two. Like us, a pair. Two little ducks in a pond.
