“People forget that when you're 16, you're probably more serious than you'll ever…” — John Hughes

I don't think I'm making any great statements, and I certainly don't think I'm making art.

It's arguable whether a hit song is gonna add to the business a film does. There are plenty of films that didn't do any business and sold a million albums.

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

If I'm on a roll, and I finish a script at 3:00, I'll start another at 3:02.
