I love to go get fireworks, even though some of them are illegal.

I don't have time to celebrate accomplishments. When good things happen, it's great, and obviously I get excited inside. But soon I gotta do something else; I gotta keep doing more stuff. The whole world will never be familiar, so I'm constantly going to be on a quest to get familiar.

The fact is, we need markers in life, whether we subscribe to a religion or not. And the major holidays, such as Christmas, serve to remind us of the turning world.

Once something is memorable, it's living and you're using it. That to me is the foundation of a creative society.

When I have the opportunity to work, I organize a whole party - like what you perhaps saw at the Grammys.

I do like to keep mementos from my work, whether they be photos, the backs of make-up chairs or even props and clothes.

It seems to me every one of us is doing something meaningful for this world.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than sitting in a dank room, hunched over a single flickering candle like Ebenezer Scrooge, and watching my ledgers fill themselves with ink.

Most of us are having to invent, discover, and create the next steps of our lives without a light, a map, or a relevant tradition.
