Michael W. Dean quotes
"Whosoever dies with his art on the most hard drives, wins."
"I remember when sex was safe and music was dangerous."
"Computers are an interesting mixture of science and voodoo."
"The best ideas cannot be stolen, because the best ideas include yourself as an integral part of the formula."
"Behind every great man is a good woman he steals all his ideas from."
"Everything that can be done, has been done. Being a great artist today consists simply of being a great editor."
"The only tiny positive spin I can put on my daughter's death is that there is no longer anyone on the planet I am afraid of embarrassing by speaking my mind all the time. I previously held back some stuff in public, out of respect for her. But since she died, I've made a decision to lay it out from here on out. Fuck it."
"Either life isn't fair or it's just ironic. I do know that many good people I love are dead, and every single smarmy fucker I wish dead is still alive."
"I love people but I'm fairly anti-social these days. I often go days without seeing anyone but my wife and the cats. I rarely leave my yard unless it's to fly somewhere."
"Film studios are obsolete. The film studios in ten years will be Google, Amazon, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard. And probably Wal*Mart."
"Digital filmmaking is the new punk rock."
"Movies are obsolete. The future will be all about spoken audio."
"The world is going to hell my dear, and I wish to step out of its way."
"I'm not rich or famous; I'm poor and popular."
"I can still satisfy two women at once, but my back hurts the next day."
"Dating seven women isn't seven times the fun, it's seven times the hassle. And one of them always feels like killing you.
"It's all about art. Whether you're painting the ceiling of the chapel, or banging out three shaky chords in the garage: You are declaring your intention to smear your soul onto the veil of the infinite."
