In The Land Of Ideas, You Are

I Try To Use Other Songs Or Bands As Reference Points - It Seems Like The Easiest Way To Get Across What Are Really Differences Of Taste Or Opinion. If You Know What Kind Of Music Somebody Loves, Then You Can Kind Of Figure Out Why They Do What They Do.

I'm A Grinder. I'll Beat You Because I Will Not Sleep.

I Think That It's Fear. The Musicians Themselves Don't Seem To Know Enough About Why They're In The Positions They're In, So They're Afraid To Lose Those Positions. If You're 22 Years Old And You Can't Believe You're Even In The Position To Have A Career Making Music, The First Thing You're Going To Think Is: Maintain. Don't Lose It. And That's Precisely What Causes You To Lose Everything.

If You're Not Flying People Around On Wires, And You're Only Allowing Them To Do Things That People Can Really Do, It Can't Go On For Very Long, Because Eventually Somebody Gets The Drop On The Other Person And Then It's Over.

If I'm A Director And I Read A Script And I Say Yeah I Really Want To Do This, I Would Never Walk Away Because The Deal Wasn't Very Good - That I Wasn't Getting Paid Very Much Or That The Chances That I Would See Anything On The Back End Were Remote Because Of The Financial Waterfall And The Way It's Structured. I Would Never Use That As A Reason Not To Do Something.
