“At a certain point you have to make a decision in your life about where will you best serve”

We all had to learn how to do it. So it’s just something creative people need to get familiar with… not really so scary.

How do I get it made? How do I get it seen? How do I get it in front of the people I want to serve?

Yet if we start thinking about what we do as important and important to offer to people, not to sell… it allows us to shift the way we think about promoting ourselves.

You can shoot and edit a movie from your iPhone and upload it to YouTube.

The one word you should forget when you start a new project is the word ‘I’ – you need to replace that word ‘I’ with the idea of ‘everybody else.

The one thing that cannot be outsourced is creativity.

And I decided that I would best serve as a producer as opposed to a studio executive.

There are many upsides to being the studio executive, but one of the downsides is that you get removed from the actual process of making the movie.

Artists don’t like the business side. None of us were born understanding money.

We need to block out the outside world; we need to disbelieve anything that would doubt us, because everyone will doubt us if we allow them that space.

Of course, what’s not universal is talent. Are you making anything that anyone really should see?

They feel it is… artificial and not what we want to be known for.

When we are in our studios, in our private space.

We have to find ways to support creative people because the only way we are going to improve our laws… is by creating our way out of it.

Frightening for many artists is promoting themselves.

The unexamined life is not worth living. But if all you’re doing is examining, then you’re not living!

There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune; it is a certain air which distinguishes us, and seems to destine us for great things; it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves.

Certainly, in the course of time, the splendid things will separate from the hateful.

Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.

If we have white persons in the March, we are certain to have trouble with the Communists, and it may not be viewed as a true expression of the Negro’s protest.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

Are more sure when you can write, even more when you can teach, but certain when you can program.

There is a certain grandeur.

Some actors come to the set ready to do their parts a certain way.
