But it's real life that inspires me - when I meet somebody, when I see something.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: New York City is inspiration, my pedigree, every lesson that I’ve learned along the way from assisting, etc. But I guess the biggest challenge in shooting musicians is to really try to nail what that particular project is going to feel like forever.
