“I get the most starstruck around musicians. I get tongue-tied and don't know what to say. I'm so jealous of them. When you make a movie, you're constructing something - it's a little bit like making an album. But after musicians make an album, they get to perform it live and experience it in front of a crowd.” KnowsLittlesBitsFrontsLittle BitMusicianAlbumsCrowdsTongueJealousTiedTongue Tied Author:Judd Apatow
“You're creating music to pull people into a world, whether it be a visual medium where music is just one element, or a purely musical medium. Either way, you're trying to transport people and to create a connection. I've always felt that the best films and the best albums can be the best company. If people feel a little bit less alone because of something I had a hand in creating than I feel like I'm contributing to the world in a positive way.” PeopleIfsWorldWayFeelsTryingLittlesHandsFilmFeltBitsCompanyElementsCreatingLittle BitMusic IsConnectionsMusicalAlbumsMediumsVisualsJust OneBeing The BestTransportContributingBest FilmCreating MusicBest Company Author:Andrew Hollander

After you put it out there to the public you never know which songs are going to work or even if the album is going to work as a whole so there is a little bit of nervousness around predicting what the numbers will be and if it's going to be well-received.” IfsKnowsWellsLittlesDoneWholeSongBitsNumbersOne ThingLittle BitAlbumsInsecurityGoing To WorkPredictingNervousness Author:John Legend

“As for music and my place in it, maybe things are changing a little bit. I know this: a good song is deeper than a tattoo. It'll remind you of the car you're driving and the girl you're going around with and the streets you're cruising. It's better than a photo album. A song is a tattoo that you never lose.
