Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
I don't want to sell my soul to Hollywood - to just make run-of-the-mill stuff.
The strange thing is that since I've been offered lots of films I think that maybe they think that I've sold out to Hollywood. Which is not the case if anybody's listening.
I'm not the Hollywood type. I'm not going to pack up my bags and let me move to Hollywood and stuff like that.
If you go to Hollywood, you've already sold out.
My aspirations aren't to sell millions of records, but to write really good songs.
I worked in a record store, but I realised I didn't want that. I still wanted to pursue a career - or a life - that my songs provided for me.
I stopped courting Hollywood a long time ago.
I just needed to leave Hollywood.
From the moment I went to Hollywood for the first time, I was accused by various people of selling out. So I feel I've done my sell-out films already. I've sold everything! I've sold every piece of soul I ever had!
