Fundamentally, what you're trying to do when you're directing is get a group of people who most likely have never met, unify them, and make sure that we're all clear on what we're marching towards.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't like directing a lot of people. So trying to keep things really simple and elegant is my preferred way of working.
Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.
Even within the band, if I cannot manage to persuade the members of what I see to be the next course of action, how do you expect the group to deal with the expectations of thousands of people. It is not possible.
That is why we are working with these various groups that have volunteers. We can get a lot of these things done. Nobody has dropped out, and a lot of people would like to join. We now know what each other does.
When you're directing something, you absolutely have to be involved in all layers of the process.
I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.
The only way you do anything is to become really active. And the most effective way to get your message to your elected representatives is to make campaign contributions and develop relationships with them.
Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself.
You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.
The only thing you can do to lead a crowd is prove your passion to them.
