writing rocks age
Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist.
writing thinking degrees
Well it kind of is project to project because as a writer I think you always write to some degree about things that you know or things that happened - but my favourite filmmakers, my favourite movies of theirs tend to be the personal movies.
impossible-to-forget remember hard
I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember.
artist journey film
When you listen to the music, you can also see the film or read the article, and it's all part of the same journey that you get to take with the artist you're interested in. It's a balancing act.
diversity stories helping
So many of us are hungry for stories with more racial diversity, more truth in representation, and I am anxious to help tell those stories in the future.
aloha sense-of-humor force
The future isn't just something that happens. It's a brutal force, with a great sense of humor, that'll steamroll you if you're not watching.
america obsession success-and-failure
I wanted to make a comment on the obsession with success and failure that we see a lot in America.
song powerful home

being-positive world cynicism
Be positive, be positive. It's rough out there, but don't succumb. Don't succumb to the cynicism in the world.
song believe writing
What you believe one day isn't what you believe the next day and I think every writer secretly believes that they may never be able to do write good song or script again, but they can.
artist people interesting
There's several ways to be a journalist. One way is to be combative and take the person to task and what you have is a portrait of somebody defending themselves, which is interesting. The other thing is to slip into their world and really be a representative for all the people that love the experience of that artist, and have them get so comfortable that you become invisible and they're themselves.
doe needs actors
That's how I am as a director - if somebody does a really good take, I can't help it, I'm not even aware of it. Actors really, really need positive reinforcement.
