The Only Ambition I Ever Had Going

There Are A Lot Of Different Paths Through The Jungle, But...the Simplest Thing You Can Do Is Make Yourself Useful. Be Easy To Work With, Be A Hard Worker And Help People Get The Job Done. And Do It With As Much Passion And Quality As You Can.

The Capacity To Create [visual] Effects In The Computer Has Made The Job Easier, But It Has Also Introduced The Complexity That You Can With A Few More Keystrokes Generate Such A Busy Canvas That The Eye Doesn't Know Where To Go. You Lose Human Scale On An Event And You're Just Wowed By The Kinetics And The Visualization. But, Often In Those Cases I Feel You Lose Touch With The Human Characters And What It Is That They Would Feel And How They Might Feel, And That's Still The Most Important Part.

I Don't Want To Be A Slave To Electronic Devices. I Don't Want To Be Connected To My Friends. I Don't Want To Send Snapshots Of My Dog And Cute Pictures Of My Family Life To My Friends And Family. I Don't Want To Be Liked, By Pushing A Button. I Use All Of This Technology To Basically Replace Devices That I Had In The Past Which Worked Just Fine.

Everything I Do, I'm Sort Of Half In, Half Out.

I Don't Think Nostalgia Is Very Useful To Me. There Is A Story To Be Told, There's Behaviour To Create Or To Bring To The Screen That Will Help Tell That Story, And Nostalgia Is Just Not Really A Big Part Of My Emotional Package.
