LET'S TRY IT IN SECONDS!

FIRST CUT ⏱ 17:39 - 18:21

Let's read...

Well I have regrets. I mean we’ve turned down things that later were so good. I wish we hadn’t turned them down. But we’ve also picked up things that other people turned down and we’ve made them great. And so, the truth is, it is, the storytelling is infinite. If I tell a good story it doesn’t make your story bad. There is not, these are not substitute products, you know. So, it is, I don’t feel like you get the best results with storytelling by trying to make sure that other people’s stories are worse than your stories.

You’re really competing not against others; you’re competing against this just the complexity of how hard it is. That’s why you guys have all seen this. If you’re in the entertainment business, you can -there are movies and TV shows where you know the people involved, and every one of those people is talented and still the final product is bad.
