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

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.

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

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.

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!

You have a right to have a feather duster. If anyone breaks in, you can make sure they’re really clean as they’re robbing your house.

No matter what anybody says, we can’t have it all. Not if you are a woman. Not yet.

The point is not to convert anyone to our view, but rather to help people wake to their own view, their own sanity.

Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.

If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could.

We cannot demand that anyone try to attain justice and freedom who has not had a chance to imagine them as attainable.

Anyone who has obeyed nature by transmitting a piece of gossip experiences the explosive relief that accompanies the satisfying of a primary need.

Multiple Bentleys isn’t making anyone ‘financially set.’
