In the new music landscape, with is the democratization of the internet and music in general, I think it can be a lot more collaborative.

Music is a language of emotion. I'm passionate about it because I think it's the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable. Words just aren't necessary a good enough opportunity to express. Words are maybe less than accessible at expressing.

In narrative films, you set up reality, so you can limit the variables. You don't have that luxury with docs.

Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much - then they get used to it.

I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

When you are dealing with real life, there is no way to control it.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive. It was all about - very selfish in a lot of ways.
