I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.

I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do like explore other styles of music.

I had to resign myself many years ago that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me it really does.

I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View ' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.

I get bored easily so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show which is always really fun.

I'm a visual thinker really bad at algebra. There's others that are a pattern thinker. These are the music and math minds. They think in patterns instead of pictures. Then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics all of the weather statistics.

Some music really does suck!

I will be really happy once I have done my jail time. I can start fresh.

I love bad movies whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it or I wouldn't do it but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.

Unfortunately 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that yes have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.

I remember when first Stripes and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.

Unfortunately overall movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business which can get really ugly.

The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour.

I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.

Our brand at Netflix is really focused on movies and TV shows.

Cinema is visually powerful it is a complete experience reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

I really like the half-hour comedy. I really do. I know people that are in movies all the time and they you know they don't see their families as much. And that takes its toll over time.

Well I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.

The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean it's not the way people say it is but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.

On movies you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.

My favorite movies are movies that I go in and I leave deeply affected. Whether I laugh really hard or whether I cry really hard I just want to feel really affected in that moment.

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.
