There's a lot of noise in the world. And one of the beautiful things about doing theater and film is the absence of that noise or, perhaps, the adding of that noise where it's helpful in telling the story. I'm always trying to get rid of that noise. The more you do it, the better you get.

It's all about brand exposure, building your brand, building your image and just getting to that next level as an athlete.
Yeah, every artist I think should look at themselves as a brand because the more appealing your brand is, the more money you can make off your brand.
VC firms that don't have a brand are going to struggle. Because there is a lot of money out there, you need to have a point of view, a brand, to really add value. You can't just talk about it, and say well, we are smart people.
