I usually listen to surf music, not much instrumental music, and when I was younger I listened to jazz.
movies music reason
The only reason I got into movies was because I had no music talent.
music
I'm from Chicago, I live in Chicago and I wanted very much for the music in Chicago to succeed.
approach gonna guys music respect respectful stick stores
When I approach a band, I want to respect them and be respectful of their music. I'm not gonna say, 'Look, you guys are real hot, so we'll stick you in the movie, and we'll get it in all these stores and all these stations.' That isn't right.

The best sounds a kid will get is in a movie theater, with huge speakers, turned up loud. I always mix my music really loud. I don't care if you don't hear all the dialogue. The audience are not idiots.

I used to judge the quality of music by whether I could make a 90-minute cassette and not repeat any artists.

I'd rather make music if I had the talent.

I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw Doctor Zhivago every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
intrigue seldom
I don't consider myself qualified to do a movie about international intrigue - I seldom leave the country.

My early prose style - this is so embarrassing - was sort of a suburban, Presbyterian knockoff of Woody Allen.
advice rallying slowly tech tread
My advice would be to be careful, to tread slowly here. A lot of what is rallying is the beaten-down tech stocks.

It's been about ten years since I've worked with actors who knew their lines!
