With acting you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy and have the cameras rolling.
I just travel the world with my backpack and my cameras and a bunch of Clif bars.
In an age of social media and content being key it's important to change the mold where you have $100 000 to $150 000 for one video. I hired some guys that are young just out of college and we used some new far-less-expensive cameras and technology to make videos.
You know I do music. If you look under the hood of the industry I'm in it's all based on technology. From radio to phonographs to CDs it's all technology. Microphones reel-to-reels cameras editing chips it's all technology.
If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.
I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.
My relationship with the journalists who covered the campaign was complicated. I often hid from the critical eye of their cameras and their omnipresent digital recorders wary of the critique implicit in every captured moment. But I also grew to respect and understand their passion for their work their love for the journey we were sharing.
How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes packaged cake mixes frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young?
Look at the same time that I don't want to be a celebrity I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I'd be a baby and a fool to be like 'Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?' when I'm on a billboard for a movie. I think that's a very absurd concept.
Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?
