They were marketing me as a teen idol when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill that meant not doing what people expected.

It's so exciting to be doing radio on the cutting edge of technology. Being in on something new is the biggest thrill in the world.

It is only by the rational use of technology to control and guide what technology is doing that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.

For behaviorist films that's been much more useful - the change of technology - but for my kind of films doing them on film is much better because it's more beautiful.

I think technology has changed America not any one organization. Technology is taking the power away from the few. There'll be a lot more choices and good people who are doing serious stuff will survive and there'll be a lot more voices and that is very healthy.

But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology including the work in molecular biology genetic engineering and so forth.

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense but with technology like it is these days it's not. You can film videos and everything with a Canon Mark II and shoot a movie. They're doing it for next to nothing by comparison. I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.

Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.
