“When you're dealing with TV and with movies, people dont take it as serious as they do with music. If a rapper does a song about shooting people on the block, and goes into a restaurant or grocery store, people grab their purses because they're afraid the person is violent. With TV and movies, people know it's okay, it's just a script.” PeopleIfsKnowsPersonsDoeSongSeriousTvsOkayScriptsStoresViolentBlockShootingRestaurantsRapperGroceriesPursesGrocery Stores Author:Suge Knight
“It was nerve-wracking [to unleash 'Life of Pi' to the world]. The first show to the journalists, that was the first one, so I was very uptight. Then I felt okay about the reception because we did a press conference with good and friendly questions, although people looked serious. So really, after the show you went to - the premiere - that reception tells me I think the movie worked, so that was a relief. I started to feel deflated.” PeopleThinkingFeelsFirstsShowsFeltSeriousOkayPressesJournalistReliefFriendlyConferencesReceptionPremieresPress ConferencesUptight Author:Ang Lee
