writing stories events
The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.
work-out rebellion obsolete
Rebellion is obsolete - change things from the inside working out.
behind-the-scenes directors collaboration
Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.
writing stories diaries
I write all the time. I do artwork that's part of a diary, and I write short stories to go with them pretty much every day.
artist names directors
I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.
couple cutting two
Lego was our fourth film, because we did two Cloudys, so yeah there's a little bit of shorthand that's involved and then you can anticipate things- because for me it's like, I get a script for a movie and I go, "Wow that's a pretty good script", then you sign on and a couple months later they show you the first cut and you're like, "Whoa, how did that happen?"
done legos directors
This is the fourth movie that I've done with this set of director-writers and I've learned to trust them at this point, because actually I started on Lego before they did.
japan cds two
With vinyl you had twenty-two minutes per side. CDs came along, and you had sixty, seventy, eighty minutes and people felt like they had to fill them up. They were like those Fuji apples from Japan. They look like perfect, super-gigantic versions of American apples.
jobs mtv two
Before MTV, if you put out an album that sold 50,000 copies, your band could afford not to have day jobs for a while. That meant you could stick around, put out another album or two. Maybe it would be the second or third album where you'd make the statement you'd been trying to make all along.
taken technology artist
Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.
kids choices records
When I was a kid, I would go to the record store, where there was a bin of things they didn't know quite how to classify. Those were my choices. That's where you would find Captain Beefheart or an early electronic album.
writing people way
It's people who write music because they are obsessed that I like; because they have something to say and no other way to say it.
records destroying company
If you get rid of a lot of the poseurs by destroying record companies, maybe it's a good trade-off.
contain popular represents scores time truly
'To Kill a Mockingbird' represents Hollywood at its very finest, when a popular film could truly contain a message. It has one of the most moving scores of all time.
