I follow cool. When I went up to see Steve Jobs, I said, 'The party's at this guy's house.'

Every artist and every song has an idea, and the producer's job is to capture it.

I learned how to do absolutely nothing - I didn't learn one thing in high school. If I had to get a job at the A&P, they had to teach me how to sweep.

I'm interested in listening to the people who walk in the door. If your ego and your accomplishments stop you from listening, then they've taught you nothing.

Maybe in the workplace I have more courage than other areas in my life.

I had a nutty career. I was living in New York. Then I got to an age where my friends and sister were having children, and I started to think I needed to orient myself towards a world where it could happen.

What I like to wear, I do myself. I don't know how that sounds, but it's the truth. My life is so mixed with my profession that I don't know where I begin or my work ends.

It's about balance. Do a movie that's good for your career, then do a one that gets good box office.
