I'm happy to dance with anyone, to be honest. I've had some great partners, who have all been talented. But not all of them at dancing.
Everybody does things well in their own aspect. We're all different. We all have our plusses and minuses.
We used to say that inside Cecil Beaton there was another Cecil Beaton sending out lots of little Cecils into the world. One did the sets, another did the costumes. A third took the photographs. Another put the sketches in an exhibition, then into magazines, then in a book.
Some people have subject matter expertise in one thing. Some people tend to be creative but not reliable, and others are reliable but not creative. Everybody has different dimensions.
One man is a splendid fighter -- a god has made him so -- one's a dancer, another skilled at lyre and song, and deep in the next man's chest farseeing Zeus plants the gift of judgment, good clear sense. And many reap the benefits of that treasure.
I've directed web series, music videos, film shorts, and theater. It's just a hat I put on.
I did all sorts of things that you wouldn't normally find on an engineer's docket, but it made an educated person out of me.
I don't think that because l'm a composer I only have to compose music.
Everyone has different talents, different styles and talents.
You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
I always wanted to play both ends of the floor. I never wanted to be one-dimensional.
I grew up moving around because my dad was in the Air Force - I think this has carried over into my work in that I like to hop around from one medium to another.
I like to combine different aspects in my work, to cover different areas, but I do see them as being separate.
I work with different actors with varied degrees of experience.
I've always done a few things at once. I've always been a musician and an actor, at the same time.
I think there are plenty of men out there who are capable and accomplished in their own realm. You don't have to be in the same field.
It seems to me that's the only way you can have a truly creative aggregate of people is if they're all contributing in different ways.
