“Can't do any work with a rock star; you have to go through their lawyers and their agents and their managers and you have to book them hotel rooms. When you work with your friends, you just call them up and they come over and you record and then you go out to see a movie.” BookStarsRoomsRecordsRocksLawyerAgentsManagersHotelRock StarHotel Rooms Author:Moby
“People need to understand. If they go to a show on Broadway and find seventy people working but only fifty spectators, how much would the ticket cost? That's what El Bulli's about. There are seventy actors who are playing for just fifty spectators. Is the price expensive? It's relative. How much does a normal dinner at a five-star hotel restaurant cost? Four hundred dollars. It's the same as El Bulli. But you can also think of it this way: How much would it cost to eat something that nobody else is eating?” PeopleIfsThinkingWayNeedsDoeShowsActorsStarsFiveFourCostNormalEatingHundredDollarsDinnerRestaurantsExpensiveFiftyHotelRelativeTicketsSeventiesBroadwaySpectators Author:Ferran Adria

Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.” ShowsFoundHouseStarsWhiteRoomsCasesPlayerInfluenceSeriousDrugAmbitionBaseballHotelWhite HouseSpellsPublishersChasingMovie StarTrashSkirtsBaseball PlayerCongressmanTalk ShowsHotel RoomsSufferersRecreational Drugs Author:Calvin Trillin
“There were never a lot of attacks on my work. We were building more parks than were ever built in the city, building more recreation centers, fixing more streets.

“An actor goes crazy in a hotel room, gets trashed, throws a bench, breaks a window, and he is considered a rock star.
