What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.

For me, there's a fine line between telling a story that's fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it's bloodless, a little too fictional.

Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.

The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
