I am a veteran of the War on Christmas. I am just emerging from a battlefield strewn with dead trees and torn shreds of brightly colored wrapping paper.
What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world.
Sharing truth is not the kind of gift that comes in wrapping paper - ripped open once and, there, you're done. No, this is a gift that must be unfolded.
I write thank-you notes the minute I throw the wrapping paper away.
