The movie industry is brutal. It is dangerous. It is, for most, soul destroying. Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

I am a bit of a workaholic, and I am still not sure what a "weekend" is all about. I love what I do, and I do what I love.

As all entrepreneurs will say, "surround yourself with good people". That is the hardest thing : finding good people.

I am tough minded, but not hard hearted.

I did apply to get a job, many times, but no one ever hired me. I think my hyperactive nature didn't score me any points, and I remember when I went for interviews, I would ask all the questions - this probably confused the people who were hiring.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.
