Time puts things in proper perspective.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.

If you try to write something that's memorable, you'll never get it. Sometimes it's the way the actor says the words that make it memorable.

In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about.

That's how I am as a director - if somebody does a really good take, I can't help it, I'm not even aware of it. Actors really, really need positive reinforcement.

Hey, I don't have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success.

When you listen to the music, you can also see the film or read the article, and it's all part of the same journey that you get to take with the artist you're interested in. It's a balancing act.
