“In America there's a tendency to write the same book over and over because that's what sells. So in a way, my success in America has come at the expense of what I do. I haven't sold out, and I haven't taken the popular road to writing a best-selling book. I've really bucked the system. So it was necessary for me not to go and find the easy fans, the ones who want something digestible and fast with a happy ending that they can read over and over again no matter how many different books it is. I had to find fans who really wanted to think. Worldwide they all have that in common.” ThinkingWayWantWritingBookDifferentMatterWantedAmericaEasyCommonTakenFansHavensSellsSellingTendenciesExpensesWant SomethingHappy EndingsSold OutDifferent BooksSelling Books Author:Steven Tyler

“The silliness-much of which is clearly intentional-is blended with some genuine grandeur. The Pixar touch is evident in the precision of the visual detail and in the wit and energy of Michael Giacchino's score, but the quality control that has been exercised over this project also has a curiously undermining effect. The movie eagerly sells itself as semitrashy, almost-campy fun, but it is so lavish and fussy that you can't help thinking that it wants to be taken seriously, and therefore you laugh at, rather than with, its mock sublimity.” ThinkingWantHas BeensHelpingEnergyFunQualityLaughingTakenEffectsProjectsSellsDetailsWitGenuineVisualsScoreEvidentGrandeurPrecisionMockUnderminingSillinessPixarSublimityFussyQuality Control Author:A.
