“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!

Accept certain inalienable truths.

I also had a mistaken attitude towards certain comrades.

There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience.

We are in the process of making the world, to a certain extent, in our own image.

An America that looks away is ignoring not just the sins of the past but the sins of the present and the certain sins of the future.

You have a movie and it proves itself and then certain things happen.

What was the opposite of linkage blindness? What described being certain of something without any kind of evidence?…The term was faith.

Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
