You Can't Get Good At Anything Unless

I Try To Use Other Songs Or Bands As Reference Points - It Seems Like The Easiest Way To Get Across What Are Really Differences Of Taste Or Opinion. If You Know What Kind Of Music Somebody Loves, Then You Can Kind Of Figure Out Why They Do What They Do.

Stuff I Like Is Getting Trashed And Stuff That Is Being Praised I Think Is Terrible. I Don't Really Feel In Sync With What's Happening, But At The Same Time, What I Think Keeps Me Afloat Is That I Try Not To Be, And Don't Want To Be, Very Indulgent. I Try To Make The Films As Lean As Possible, And To Not Spend A Lot Of Time Crawling Up My Own Ass Creatively.

I Think That It's Fear. The Musicians Themselves Don't Seem To Know Enough About Why They're In The Positions They're In, So They're Afraid To Lose Those Positions. If You're 22 Years Old And You Can't Believe You're Even In The Position To Have A Career Making Music, The First Thing You're Going To Think Is: Maintain. Don't Lose It. And That's Precisely What Causes You To Lose Everything.

All Human Interaction, You Can Break It Down To Incentives. All Relationships, At Some Level, Are Transactional. They're Fascinated With Incentives.

I Tend To Be Drawn More To People Than Pure Story Ideas.
