Transcript
"Let's talk about instincts a little bit. When you hear an idea and you know it's a good idea, what's the feeling of good idea versus bad idea? >> Well, there is a thing called pure instinct. If you're very lucky, and I am very lucky, I think in this regard, >> that my mainstream interests, I got a lot of little curiosity by ways, but my mainstream interests, they've always been in the general mainstream. Why that is, who the hell knows? I'm not overly intellectualized about extremely artistic, arcane, obstruuse arenas. So that's pure luck. And then my instincts derive from that I trust. So when I hear an idea, it either bounces off something that says now that's interesting or not. And what then additionally affects it is my arguing it with other people in a room. My process of creative conflict which is you get a bunch of people in an enclosed space usually past their point of endurance and you talk about ideas and what you want to do and different aspects of that."
