Working with a good artiste is always a pleasure. If you get a reaction from your co-star, then you get the space to perform well.
Chemistry cannot be manufactured or forced, so Wild Flag was not a sure thing, it was a 'maybe,' a 'possibility.' But after a handful of practice sessions, spread out over a period of months, I think we all realized that we could be greater than the sum of our parts.
I have never, ever, had an acting partnership that was a safe, as full, and as exciting as the one I had with Tony. I didn't want to go through life without having a chance to taste it again.
When Sharan called me for 'Rambo,' we were acquainted, but had not worked together. Right from day one, though, there was an easygoing camaraderie between us, which was only amplified by his implicit trust in me and my ability to deliver for his film.
Me and Kanye work awesome together. He's a creative man, I'm a creative man, we put our ideas together, it's like the perfect formula.
Nas is one of my favorite rappers because you don't get any of that flashy stuntin'; you get the real, just raw bars. The way he tells stories and his vibe, I think we would make great music together.
I instinctively felt Pancham and Gulzarbhai were meant to make music together.
From that first meeting, I totally loved working with Joey, it was a real collaboration.
The Eagles are four very alpha personalities. We've all done solo work, and we've all played with very good musicians, but when the four of us get together, it becomes something that's much bigger than any one of us.
I have very strong relationships with my actors when I'm shooting. When you love an actor's work, you always feel you have to go further, and you make several films together. One film just gives you time to get acquainted.
Personally, I do the best work with people I'm closest with. I know what their tastes are, and they are similar to mine. That close personal relationship is what delivers the best work.
Sometimes two artists wanna work together, but it doesn't mean it's gonna happen, because you have to find the right idea.
I do not want to act unless I have a a great intimacy with the people I'm working with.
When Zaytoven and Future are working together, then Future's not working on no other tracks, and Zaytoven's not making no beats for nobody but Future.

My choice of script is governed by two factors - either I've to like the people associated with the project or the storyline should be interesting. I focus more on the vibe and the type of energy I get from them.
You can always know, when it comes to a Gucci Mane or Migos project, there is no such thing of them putting out a project without me being a part of it. These are guys that I'm really close with, and we built a sound together, and we got a certain chemistry.
Puff always does great collaborations, it's just you need that flair to make it work.
I feel very, very grateful. I'm a lucky guy, you need a lot of luck, and then when the cameras roll, you have to have this group of writers, directors, and actors that just gel, and it seems to literally be happening more and more.
The dance that happens, between actor and director, is a very delicate thing...it's why people tend to work together on many films over and over.
Because it was the original 4 guys, and the dynamic of those 4 guys interacting together that had the power.
Working with Omarion is pretty amazing. That's like my brother. He's really cool.
I would like to work with a great producer who I haven't met yet. I'm not sure who he is, but I'm looking for someone to take me to the next level.
When you think back in history about producers and artists or writers who've had good synergy, a lot of times they date, or they're married, or there's a friendship and a kinship.
2 Chainz and I have a history. It's always an honor and pleasure working with him, because it seems like everything we do is dope. We just have that organic chemistry.
