Crazy friends provide for crazy times, and such crazy times we're had.

It's a robust time, probably the most fertile time for the underground and for revolution since Nixon. I'm not talking about political overthrow; I'm talking about just general cultural revolution. Bush has polarised the country and is creating this breeding ground for an opposition. In the next couple of months, they'll probably make it unpatriotic to be Democrat. It's pretty crazy.

William Morris shares our vision to define the next generation of entertainment with experiences that tightly integrate the very best that both television and the Internet has to offer, ... Majestic.
Who is a better person to tackle that challenge with than Steven Spielberg?
You can add a lot of value with feature IP.
What you'll see in these new titles are things that evoke feelings, ... They won't engage you only interactively, but they'll strive to move you emotionally.
I don't feel like I'm slowing down, but these things happen, ... Yeah, there's a lot of reflection. It affected all the songs.
