People have the freedom to say what they want, and I get it - mean stuff sells better than nice stuff.
And the consumer doesn't care. They don't watch networks, they watch TV shows.
We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.
I've spent 10 years checking my analytics on my end to see what people were talking about and what they like.
I choose films preferably based on content, and then I see the kind of team I have to work with.
I would love the record industry to be more receptive to my music but all they are interested in is style over content.
I still think what the consumers are looking for is, number one, entertainment. They want to be entertained. It can be a liberal, a libertarian, or a conservative. It can be far-left or far-right. If they are entertained, they are going to tune in.
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
I don't want to see the uncut version of anything.
There's a lot of books that I've purchased simply because of the cover design. On the other hand, there's certain books that, even if I'm very curious about the content, I can't bring myself to buy if I really dislike the cover.
We are video consumers first and foremost, and we hate anything appearing in the videos that isn't organic.
There are certain things that I might not watch, and, in fact, some things that I've done I don't watch because it's not my cup of tea, I guess.
I'll take any story if it's good.
People will not be bored. They may listen politely at a dinner table to boasts and personalities, life history, etc. But in print they choose their own companions, their own subjects. They was to be amused or benefitted
You don't have to put dresses in a movie to make girls like it.
I don't need to have someone tell me what I'm going to be entertained by.
When people tell you Web content is better than television content, they probably don't mean that, they probably enjoy the format of the Web better than the format of TV.
I like TV. It all depends what it is.
I don't want to be doing a show that's negative, that's filled with drama.
I'm really not opposed to playing anything as long as it's a story that I want to tell.
I think we're in a time when people are much more interested in a show than where you find it.
I think that, given a real choice, people would like to hear something interesting, not something bland and right down the middle.
If it doesn't come through the Internet, it's not really compelling to me.
I'm just looking for material that excites me more than any specific genre. It just needs to be good.
