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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate studios. A studio is a black hole. I never use a studio to work. It's very artificial to go to a studio to get new ideas. You have to get new ideas from life, not from the studio. Then you go to the studio to realize the idea.
You can always trust that an audience is smarter than a studio thinks it is.
I hate studio. For me, studio is a trap to overproduce and repeat yourself. It is a habit that leads to art pollution.
If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!
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.
Studios are designed to pull out all of that beautiful ambience you get from singing in a room, and then the engineer puts it back in digitally or through whatever machinery you've got.
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.
Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
Studios are an assembly line. They can be a very good assembly line. As a producer, you concentrate on one project at a time. As an executive, you're in charge of a slate.
Studio people are bright. Empowering. They don't want to have to interfere creatively. That's their horror story, too.
