The man who produced Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Adele explains why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies:
"The audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me."
"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience."
"So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."
"Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."
