I've never tried to work chronologically. I don't think I have the discipline to do that.

I actually don't see that strong of a connection between my background as a rock 'n roller and my early films. In a way I think your musical identity in film work is determined by the jobs that come your way.

I've always been very left of center and the radio never had much diversity and film did.

If I had kids, I don't think I would recommend they pursue a career in music.

Censorship has kind of disappeared in a way because everything is accessible online.

If you want to survive in the film industry, it's not about fighting for your visions because that's a given. It's thinking about how much is your vision going to cost, and then, what are the consequences, because you may have $100 million, but the reality is that $100 million needs to make $500 million to be a success.

Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.
