different world
Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!
independent thinking film
I think everybody's contemplating TV now, because mid-level and high-budget independent films are not being made now.
moving
I tend to like to move on. I don't sit around and dwell on things much.
work-out people important
The ones that work out really and ones that become something to the audience, those are the most important people.
people sometimes
LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
attention
People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.
eclectic
These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.
fighting people guy
People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.
different songwriting screenwriting
Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.
thinking music-is songwriting
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
guy
I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.
song writing hook
My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.
character
Every character I play is me, always has been.
character
To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.
