Thinking Quotes

• I'm having this conversation with you now. I'm talking, but I'm thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I'm concentrating on what you're saying. So that means there's more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person's got you doing.

• I never understood the low art/high art distinction. I think there's real currency in pop culture. We read trashy magazines as much as the next person.

• As rich as you think some of us are, for every $18.99 CD you buy, the artist usually sees a toonie or so. Pay your producer out of that. Then your manager.

I just need to perfect the job and I still have two weeks to go [to deliver final cut to Fox].
