There's too much insecurity on studio sets, with all the people standing around, whispering.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the studio, if they need to come down to the floor, things are a bit pushy, although it is easier for them to say things directly rather than through about five people.
Studio people are idiots. Until they see someone else doing it and make a success of it, they don't open their minds. Most of them are idiots.
I cannot tell you how many people, powerful people, come to my studio and they are in tears they are so moved by what they see.
You can always trust that an audience is smarter than a studio thinks it is.
When you're not in studios, you don't have any luxuries; you can't control the elements, so you have to put up with those extremes.
I've gotten to work with amazing people. I would say usually we get to a point before we get into the studio where there isn't that sense of anxiety or nervousness of who they are because I don't think it would be as productive in the studio if that was the case. But maybe meeting someone like Neil Young for the first time made me anxious.
When I'm in the studio, there are no boundaries.
When I'm not on set, I'm in the studio.
Studio people are bright. Empowering. They don't want to have to interfere creatively. That's their horror story, too.
I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.
