Every time you do a project, you learn something new.
Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.
I have four daughters. A lot of the time, I don't allow myself to be in projects that objectify women.
I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects.
So much of listening to lyrically driven music is projecting your own feelings and experiences into the music.
I've always loved projects where I can combine acting and music.
I write music when I'm free and for no particular project in mind.
Making movies is never going to get better than working on a Coen brothers project.
No matter what it is, pick yourself up and go on to the next project.
But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
When I thought about why I was sometimes reluctant to push myself, I realized that it was because I was afraid of failure - but in order to have more success, I needed to be willing to accept more failure.
I enjoy the fun of failure. It's fun to fail, I kept repeating. It's part of being ambitious; it's part of being creative. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing badly

Anyway, they went and built this silly housing project, with us living right across the street from it. Some of the children from the housing project got into trouble. You can't just take people who don't have anything, don't know what they're doing,...
I always had the uncomfortable feeling that if I wasn't sitting in front of a computer typing, I was wasting my time--but I pushed myself to take a wider view of what was "productive." Time spend with my family and friends was never wasted.
Project Leader: [over a loudspeaker at The Dark Side of the Moon] Could we have the lights in the arena down 60 percent, please... 60 percent. [the lights go down and running lights turn on one at a time up the runway] Project Leader: I don't think w...
[last lines] Nachrichtensprecher: [voiceover - spoiler] The tragic outcome: two dead, three injured, among them project leader Professor Klaus Thon. Clearly, the experiment went out of control after two days. The district attorney is investigating tw...
Rainer Wenger: Mr. Wieland! Dieter Wieland: Mr. Wenger. Rainer Wenger: About the project week... Dieter Wieland: Yes, and? Rainer Wenger: Can we switch? I got autocracy. Dieter Wieland: Alea iacta est. The die has been cast. Rainer Wenger: You know I...
Life dies but forever will there be music. Always.
The beauty of an art project is that you cannot always measure the impact, but one day it can become clear.
I just like to choose projects that will allow me as an artist to make my art.
