When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point.
I'd go for parts that didn't pay a dime, and there would be 300 to 400 actors there. It could be very discouraging. To make it in this business, you have to have a kind of dumb sense that you're really good. You have to believe that someone is going to recognize that.
I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.
