Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys ' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.
I can create countries just as I can create the actions of my characters. That is why a lot of travel seems to me a waste of time.
Every perfect traveler always creates the country where he travels.
You will launch many projects but have time to finish only a few. So think plan develop launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.
I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time he creates a separate identity for himself.
No greater thing is created suddenly any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom then bear fruit then ripen.
Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow it's time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.
We all knew this. We all knew that it would take more time than any of us want to dig ourselves out of this hole created by this economic crisis.
When I was a teenager I would lock myself in the bathroom for hours bouffanting my hair like Patty Duke and trying to recreate Barbra Streisand's flawless eyeliner only to comb it all out and wash it all off before stepping out into the world a butchish bisexual teen.
I have the instruments ideas technology computer techniques. We try to create or see something which has not been known before - just to discover something together. This is always my dream.
The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette from the CD to the digital download these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed but the very way artists created it.
Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.
It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.
Well another market is being created now out of Internet technology.
Technology may create a condition but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves.
Sampling is kind of prehistoric given the technology and the textures you can create.
I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day you and I are analog creatures. We have to take 'oohs and aahs' and convert them to 0s and 1s and then convert them back to 'oohs and aahs.' Narratives that work in social networks are the exchange of stories that are told well.
