I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

I'm still very affected and moved by their music - maybe in a way that's different from someone who grew up around it.

I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.

Traffic is about drugs. As detailed a portrait as I can muster about what is happening in the drug world, from top to bottom, from policy to how things move on the street.

I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be.

Anytime you've got something that can take you into the political realm then you've opened up the conversation a lot.

I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating...anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us-I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.
