The ’90s were a party, I mean definitely maybe not for the grunge movement, but people were partying harder in the ’90s than they were in the ’80s. The ’90s was Ecstasy, the ’80s was yuppies.

Definitely Mean Party People
It’s not that much of a difference. Basically, your job is the same as a film director. It’s a triangle between creativity, money, and time. But they don’t really change. You’re ultimately trying to get the most creativity and time with the money that you have.

I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.
