“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?”

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.

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.

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!

My phone is always in front of me, 24/7.

Lying is before you and the grave is in front of you.

And it’s about time that officials take their responsibility and are responsible in front of the people. Because today, if you’re appointed by the king, they don’t feel that they’re responsible for the people.

What’s going on on the home front. I think people really respond to that balance of masculine and feminine.

The only thing that I can do is hold a mirror in front of men and women, in front of the viewer in the theater, to reflect. There is nothing but reflection that I could intend to offer the viewer of the film.

I’ve often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it’s inside a frame.

An artist’s job is simply to take the mirror in front of your face and hold it there. It’s not to give you any answers. It is simply to take that mirror and point it at you.

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror a grin. Through eyes of love I see, I’m only looking at a friend.
