“I made a very bad mistake; I miscounted these scraps of information on the record as 92, and in continual homage to this man who had been so influential to me, I began creating or constructing my own films on this so-called "magic" number of 92 ... but when I eventually made a film about John Cage and met him, I explained this to him, and he found it very amusing because there are only 90 stories on the two sides of the record, and I'd based three years of my filmic career on this mathematical error!” MenYearsMadeTwoStoriesFilmThreeFoundSidesMy OwnNumbersMistakeCareersRecordsMagicInformationMetsCreatingErrorsMathematicalThree YearsCagesInfluentialAmusingTwo SidesScrapHomageBad Mistake Author:Peter Greenaway

“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion.

“I've always found that when you're trying to create illusions with sound, especially in a science fiction or fantasy movie, that pulling sounds from the world around us is a great way to cement that illusion because you can go out and record an elevator in George Lucas's house or something, and it will have that motor sound.” WorldWayTryingFoundHouseSoundFictionFantasyRecordsCreatingIllusionScience FictionMovieFilmmakingPullingMotorElevatorsCement Author:Ben Burtt

“My record label, which is a huge record label who represents massive, massive stars - they've never done anything like this before, and they were so excited about this idea of an animated character which is singing legitimate music. It's not a comedy record, it's a legitimate record. And they really jumped on board. So, we've got our Facebook page up, we'll be jumping on Twitter very soon, and sort of be creating Haley outside of American Dad.” IdeasDoneCharacterStarsRecordsComedyHugeDadCreatingPagesSingingExcitedLabelsBoardsMassiveJumpingAnimatedRecord LabelsHaleyFacebook PageAmerican Dad Author:Rachael MacFarlane
