Hits and flops are overrated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a Top 40 record guy. I remember the hits and don't remember the flops. Something in my brain blocks them out.
Flops are always disappointing, but 'High Fidelity' was devastating. Not that I thought it was going to make me a big star, but I did think it was going to run longer than a week and a half.
Mind games to me are overrated.
Good arms are overrated.
Popularity is totally overrated.
Rodgers & Hart had a few flops before they clicked. You know, it happens. I don't know anyone who always gets away with everything.
You write a hit the same way you write a flop.
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.
You learn more from the flops than from the hits.
