I think the cynicism that you have when you've just gone through a break-up is a luxury that you allow yourself for a while.
You have to be willing to give it your all and sacrifice to make your dreams come true.
Today, with computer-generated visual effects, everything is possible. So we've seen everything. If it can be imagined, it can be put on screen.
Screenwriting and making movies is really playing make-believe like most of us did as children.
Today the challenge is not visuals, but to be able to tell a riveting emotional story, something that can reach deep down inside the audience's heart and twist it like a toy to make them laugh, cry or jump out of their seats to root for the hero.
Most of the people I've been fortunate enough to work with all share the same passion for creativity, for ingenuity, for playing make-believe and really just having fun. It doesn't matter if we're blowing up cars, or shooting an emotional scene in a police station, deep inside we all know our imaginations are at work, and our imaginations are manifesting into reality - at least momentarily for the cameras to capture.
There is truly no other business in the world like making movies. It's unique, it's extremely demanding and difficult, but it's also the most rewarding.
I just don't think the Bob Costas, Joe Buck - I don't think that the people that rise to the highest - Jim Nantz, Mike Tirico - need a schtick. I just think Brent Musburger is really good.
If you can be that link to other people that came before you and the ones that come after, then you have to honor that link. If you are doing what somebody else tells you to do and you have success, it's horrible. And if you are doing what other people tell you to do and you fail, it's equally horrible.
My company created a platform called Modlife, this prepackaged website that runs an artist's website.
The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.
