Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

I went to hollywood. i put the action in hollywood. i watched a lot of movies, maybe 100 or something close to that. i have tons of dvds now at home. i don't know what to do with them because they're not useful anymore. my kids never watched them. i read a lot of autobiographies, listened to a lot of music by classical era composers like franz waxman, max steiner, bernard herrmann, alfred newman and leonard bernstein. i listened to only that kind of music the entire time i was writing, even at home.

My musical influence is really from my father. he was a dj in college. my parents met at new york university. so he listened to, you know, motown, and he listened to bob dylan. he listened to grateful dead and rolling stones, but he also listened to reggae music. and he collected vinyl.

I watched elvis presley become - i listened to elvis presley. i watched chuck berry become. i listened to little richard. i heard that music, and it was part of my upbringing.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

Television and radio are what i call sequential media; they're not simultaneous media. with simultaneous media, you can scan your eye down an electronic or print page and pick among six or seven stories you might like and want to read. with television and radio, you have to wait until the guy's finished talking about the balloon boy, which i don't have the slightest interest in, to find out that all hell's broken loose in baghdad. because they've chosen that day to start with the balloon boy.
