We're trying to put you at the very heart of your own suspense thriller, ... You play you.
I feel like our religion and our faith have been hijacked. What is bothering me the most is the misappropriation of religion and faith, the misuse of God and the house of worship. It's one faith with different people trying to express it in different ways. It's all about being the little guy in the big world.
I try not to look back. I'm looking forward. I'm worried more about what I'm going to do next week than I am what I did last week. There are too many things to do. Looking back is for everybody else.

Who is a better person to tackle that challenge with than Steven Spielberg?
You can add a lot of value with feature IP.
Some get stoned, some get strange. Sooner or later it all gets real. Walk on.
