“And I’ve tried to do that where I can in my field.”

Something respected, was the most important thing to do with your life.

100 percent, my whole life. I went to school, I did music theory,

As a kid, I wasn’t given the sense that celebrity, or fame or any of that,

Was something to be impressed by, or to seek out. It was always impressed upon me that making something well crafted

I felt like I wanted to make more than just music.

I’m pretty committed to being a filmmaker because it incorporates everything I love: music, art direction, story, and you know – everything.

And I try to preserve whatever’s of value and achievable in their idea.

I’ve never made a video where I didn’t talk to the artist before I wrote the treatment.

Basically, I enter into it knowing we are collaborators.

I always wanted to be a musician.

If it’s something I can’t achieve, I tell them straight.

Otherwise they’re not going to feel great when they’re up there miming it.

My process in making a music video is pretty much a formula of talking to the artist.

I did voice training and piano lessons, and while I was a decent musician.

It didn’t seem like enough for me.

I try to bring musicians into the logistics of filmmaking.

If the faults of men in orders are only to be judged among themselves, they are all in some sort parties; for, since they say the honour of their order is concerned in every member of it, how can we be sure that they will be impartial judges?

Love is a passion Which kindles honor into noble acts.

Just think you are the greatest. Where’s the harm in thinking like that? It is not for pride you do it, but for bringing the best out of you. There is nothing wrong.

There is no reward so delightful, no pleasure so exquisite, as having one’s work known and acclaimed by those whose applause confers honor.

Sharing with Jupiter is never a dishonor.

In the film business, it’s basically honor among thieves.

It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.

If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
