There's this idea that artists are free and that means that we can do whatever we want to do. And it's very important to engage with this idea, just as human beings, that we are free to do what we wanna do. So the real question becomes, then, what do we wanna do? And as one gets to know oneself, one finds that there are things that return again and again that you wanna do.

We all agreed that philosophically, it was not OK, and ethically, it wasn't OK. We're going to take the word 'divert' totally out of our vocabulary.
Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.
