Studio Quotes

For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don’t do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck Picture Quote #1

I’m very critiqueful of my own stuff, and I kick everybody out the studio when I’m singing, no one is in the studio, it’s just me and the engineers, no one else in the studio when I’m doing my thing Picture Quote #1

For context, the budget of Don Jon is about half the budget of (500) Days of Summer. And (500) Days of Summer is about a third of the budget of the lowest-budget movies produced at a major studio Picture Quote #1

Social media is a double-edged sword. I’ve gotten in trouble for announcing, too soon, something that the network or the studio wanted to do, and it steals some of the thunder, so to speak Picture Quote #1

What makes it frustrating is when a director or a studio head doesn’t see me for the same part that they’ll see, let’s say, Drew Barrymore for. Drew’s a great friend of mine. But it’s like, No, we want more of an American type of girl Picture Quote #1

I don’t typically work that late into the night in a studio, I’m more productive during the day Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t ready to write my own songs when I was in my early 20s. I’m still growing but I definitely grew because of my experiences on the road and in the studio Picture Quote #1

In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years Picture Quote #1

Five Easy Pieces,’ ‘Easy Rider’ - those are indie pictures; those were not studio pictures. They had relationships with studio distribution, but they were indies Picture Quote #1

Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I’ve found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have money to eat when I was 21. When I was short on cash, I would sometimes scam food from fast food places. I’d go into fast food chains and pretend I was from a movie studio, tell them they didn’t send us the right order and demand they fix it. I’ve tried to make that right whenever I could Picture Quote #1

I’m not tied to budgets. I’m tied to the story that I want to tell, and how much it’s going to cost is up to whatever the economic situation of the studio is Picture Quote #1

Even though I studied in New York and I know the American system, I come from France where I learned that with movies in France where the director is king. There’s no such thing as a studio edit. It’s the director’s cut, period Picture Quote #1

I’ll still make movies for studios, but my editing process will be much further removed from the studio system. Because I don’t understand it. I don’t understand the whole testing-numbers thing. It is not how I want to make movies. So if that’s how they do it, then I don’t think I want to do it Picture Quote #1

Of course we had the best possible classical education, which gave us a very strong foundation and tradition. But we also learned a lot by collaborating with different pop/rock artists and especially by recording and working in the studio Picture Quote #1

I created a successful outdoor youth festival - the Liverd festival - against all good advice. It was a great way to explore and investigate social sculptures. Having that as my kind of studio, outside of a museum or precious white-cube gallery, that was a kind of education Picture Quote #1

There’s something fun about the road because there’s no 9 to 5. But I do find myself making the effort to take some time off. As much as I don’t want to, I have to. I need to reset. I love weeks off, because I can go in the studio and just be creative again Picture Quote #1

I’ve become a workaholic. When the shows slow down and there’s no press and I can get my time to myself in the studio with my music, I get into this zone, man. I enter this incredible space where I’m just making music. And I feel like I can work with anybody - with Elton John, with Hanson - and I can make something incredible Picture Quote #1

The most emotional part is when I go into my studio every day and pretty much never have an idea of what’s gonna happen Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, if you don’t have a record contract, a studio or a guitar, you can still write songs. You’re still an artist. That’s something no one can take away Picture Quote #1

The big studio era is from the coming of sound until 1950, until I came in... I came in at a crux in film, which was the end of the studio era and the rise of filmmaking Picture Quote #1

I love the New York that was. The end for me was Studio 54. I don’t go out at night anymore Picture Quote #1

If you start out trying to achieve a specific thing - like doing stadium shows or going into the studio and doing an album - the end result is what counts Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m stepping into a place of spiritual contemplation every time I enter a studio; it’s always had a certain magic to me that has never worn off with familiarity Picture Quote #1

I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well. I’d love to be able to do a mixture Picture Quote #1

I’m on this eternal quest to get the best guitar sound in the world, but my vision of what is ‘the best’ changes every time I go into the studio. Sometimes my goal is to make my guitar jump out, and sometimes I want it to lay back Picture Quote #1

As long as I have a studio with producers, I can make something everyday. And the people know what type of quality it’s going to be Picture Quote #1

There’s a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle. We all are. Everyone Picture Quote #1

The single most exciting thing that happened for me was getting to spend some time in the studio with both Marty Stuart and Vince Gill Picture Quote #1

[Donald Trump] not going to be sitting in studio acting as the executive producer of The Apprentice. I think that’s Mark Burnett and that’s the way it’s going to be Picture Quote #1
