If you are going to be a big personality, you've got to have some kind of characteristic gimmick.
I think you can say anybody uses anything as a gimmick. Is Adele's not having gimmicks her gimmick? It's hard to say, isn't it? Really, I think that everybody has something that people like or that's great about them.
It's a feeling you get. You could have a hundred actors reading for one part, and they could all be spectacular, but one sticks out for some reason.
When looking for new talent, I always look for artists who have something unique about them or are clearly on a mission.
Star quality is one of the most difficult things to describe. It emanates from the person, and he may not even understand it himself. It's a quality that separates the star from the rest of us.
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
Not a lot of movies have their own feel.
Truly great images make all the other millions of images you look at unimportant. You gotta look at an image and understand it in a nanosecond.
