Quotes

• I like a woman to take control but they're hard to find. For example, when I go out to a restaurant I know every girl in there wants to come say hi and be sexually aggressive, but they're all so gripped by shyness that they don't even make a move. In some cases the shyness is so severe they won't even look at me.
• One of the great things about being involved in this business is that you meet people who are so talented, whose stuff you admire, who you can potentially work with.
