Lego was our fourth film, because we did two Cloudys, so yeah there's a little bit of shorthand that's involved and then you can anticipate things- because for me it's like, I get a script for a movie and I go, "Wow that's a pretty good script", then you sign on and a couple months later they show you the first cut and you're like, "Whoa, how did that happen?"

To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.

I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.

If you're in music just to become a big, fat rock star, then I probably don't like your music to begin with.

Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.

This is the fourth movie that I've done with this set of director-writers and I've learned to trust them at this point, because actually I started on Lego before they did.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.
