What the world is like from a nine-year-old's point of view? My memory is that nothing is explained to you, you've got to try to figure it out, pick up clues from the people around you, try to figure it out from their reactions.

I definitely enjoy getting to know people I find inspiring.

I feel like you only have so much time to make stuff. I'm definitely aware of that. I'm also excited about it.

It's fun when you start a movie, because it's kind of like you get to go Christmas shopping... you get to make your wish list and you start thinking about what each character needs.

Music is thousands and thousands of years old and I don't think that basic, primitive connection to the language of music ever changes.

On everything I do I'm always taking someone's money, whether it's a movie studio or a record label. Somebody's paying for it, and I'm always respectful of that. But I'm never going to compromise.

I am better at math than spelling.
