I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.

The goal is to make something that sounds new and different.

I like to find an artist who inspires me and get into their world and challenge them.

Hip-hop has never had boundaries - the more adventurous it is, the more popular it seems to be.

A lot of people come work with me because I keep an open set, and people can visit. Julia Roberts used to have friends visit on 'Pretty Woman.'

Rattigan's world demanded unwavering trust in principles, loyalty, and virtue. At the time of this play - Rattigan was writing this play in 1947 about an incident that took place in 1914 - should a boy say he didn't do something, his father would believe him; a British father would take the defense of his son's honor to his grave.

I remember getting out of acting school and friends of mine talking about, like, 'You know, I don't think I'm gonna do TV.' Like, people putting on these airs of being picky. And I was never a snob about it.

Making a movie about the love between two women was really a tribute to the lesbian people in my life, my dear friends who are seminal in my life.
