Optimism Is A Revolutionary Act

Conception Of A Film Starts With The Music. Always. I Hear The Movie Before I Can Ever Write It. I Would Say That 80% Of The Time, That's The Successful Stuff. It's The Other Stuff I Have To Work For To Get Right, And Sometimes It Doesn't Work Out, But The Music Is Always The Beginning. So I'm Still A Music Journalist.

Hey, I Don't Have All The Answers. In Life, To Be Honest, I Failed As Much As I Have Succeeded. But I Love My Wife. I Love My Life. And I Wish You My Kind Of Success.

I Used To See A Lot Of Cocaine. There Were Journalists Who Used Cocaine And Didn't Write About It And I Didn't Write About It. I Would Never Do Drugs, So I Would Always Get The Same Response From People: "smart Kid, More For Me." Whether It Was A Joke Or Sincere Or Both, But I Was Just Happy Not To Be In There Partying With The Band Like Some Of These Other Journalists.

That's How I Am As A Director - If Somebody Does A Really Good Take, I Can't Help It, I'm Not Even Aware Of It. Actors Really, Really Need Positive Reinforcement.

If You Try To Write Something That's Memorable, You'll Never Get It. Sometimes It's The Way The Actor Says The Words That Make It Memorable.
