What a fuckin' editor. He's crazy, but he's got a dream -- Hunter S. Thompson
He's a huge music fan. That's something that has never changed. It's a big part of who he is. And that's at the basis of our relationship. He still gets into the records like we used to get into the records -- Bruce Springsteen
