I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

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

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

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.

As great as technology is, it still has it's limitations, because it's only a frame of the truth

People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

Maybe the idea of being a rockstar or being the one who's recording or playing, sort of doesn't really matter as much anymore, when you're surrounded by great musicians who bring their spirit, their own talent.
