- Has scored 11 of the James Bond films and his influence was very much heard in the first, Agente 007 contra el Dr. No (1962), via his work on The James Bond Theme.
- His "We Have All the Time in the World," sung by Louis Armstrong, from the soundtrack of the Bond film 007 al servicio secreto de su Majestad (1969) -- in which 007 weds -- was found in 2005 to be the third most popular choice for UK just-married couples' first dance (after Bryan Adams and The Carpenters).
- Federico Fellini once confessed to an interviewer that Barry's James Bond contra Goldfinger (1964) was his favorite movie score.
- Japanese film and television composer Shirô Sagisu has acknowledged Barry's work as an influence; in fact, one of Shirô's compositions for Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) is a blatant homage to a theme called "007" which appears in several James Bond film scored by Barry.
- To date (2009), the composer holds the record for the most James Bond scores - a total of 12. Barry also holds the record for the most consecutive 007 scores - six.
- Geoff Leonard knows more about me than I know myself.
- [on the singer who sampled "You Only Live Twice" for his first number one solo single] I wouldn't know Robbie Williams if I fell over him.
- [on being awarded an O.B.E.] I'm very honored. I really didn't expect. My father received an MBE at the end of World War II and I didn't believe I would be doing the same.
- [on The John Barry Seven] I hated it. I hated it. It was a means to an end. I never wanted to work for anybody else, I always wanted to be my own boss. And so the Seven was a means to get started but I hated performing, really hated it.
