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.

There is reason to smile and celebrate when you win, but when you struggle, that is about laughter. That is the pathos that is rooted in all comedy. And business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

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

The movie industry is brutal. It is dangerous. It is, for most, soul destroying.

I could actually do a lot more if I didn't have things go wrong. So, what I am trying to do now is stay light on the parasites. If you are not drained by anyone you can do way more.

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 tough minded, but not hard hearted.
