If I wasn't the head of a studio, who would talk to me?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't forget, I've been fired by studios; I'm not the studio's guy. I'm a guy who can work with studios, but if you ask any studio, I stand up to these people.
If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!
There's a whole system in Hollywood where the director never speaks to the studio, but I like to engage them in a discussion. I listen.
I'm getting in the studio with everybody I've always wanted to work with. That's the amazing thing.
I'm a studio rat. I like going in there as producer.
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
If I had all the money in the world, I don't think I'd want to be in the studio for longer.
And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.
I'm someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I'm not a control freak but I know what I want.
I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.
