"Is your work 'information rich?' In a way, all art is. Information is not just empirical, logical, and factual --- it also is opinion and feeling. When you talk to a potential customer in person, it's natural to share information about the process, the history, and the vision that makes each of your creations unique."

"Let's start with the big picture. One of the prime bits of information people use to determine value of an art work is the context that they see it in. Some people object to that, decrying the influence of packaging. I don't agree. The way you choose to present your work conveys a lot of information to your clients."

"Conventional wisdom has had it that Hollywood killed art or at least put a stranglehold on it when the studios instituted self-censorship as a hedge against government interference. The glories of the old studio system tell a different story, as do the past few decades, when relaxed censorship has mainly led to increased graphic violence and a parallel descent into sexual puerility.
"In American film,... violence invariably trumps sex ..."
