I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.

We’re all beautiful. We all deserve attention.

I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.

I think our culture is sick and tired of fluffy nonsense and people want something more sincere and heartfelt.

When I was a teenager, if anyone recognized me for anything I did, it would ruin my day. I couldn't handle it. It was some sort of neurotic phobia. I guess I was paranoid that people would treat me differently, or in an unfair way, because of my job.

I'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school.

The term 'popular culture' always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals.
