Europe, I have lived in your future, and I did not like it.
I want to institutionalise and automate chequebook journalism.
That's always been my test for what makes a story: is this something journalists would gossip with each other about?
An employer would be a complete fool to let an image like college partying influence their hiring decisions.
I don't really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies.
Forget about someone's resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog or not? The blog doesn't lie.
No picture, no footage, no story. The people these days require some visual evidence in order to believe what they read.
I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.
It's always very daunting to play someone who actually existed. You have to honor that, and be specific and accurate and try to make people believe that you're that guy, which is really hard.
My occupation is syncopation. But, every time, my syncopation is different, because I can never play the same fill twice. I just can't, never have been able to.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
