I just try to make the best film possible, and once the movie's done, we deal with the DVD.
Typing in the name of a song and downloading the song you really have no connection with the artist at that point. So I think it is still important to have physical CDs and stuff like that.
For me, the idea of releasing a free record is powerful if everybody gets it for free at the same time.
I'd rather have vinyl and a download code than a CD any day.
It's a video release as well so I have to be perfectly honest and go, probably not specifically for DVD, but there are extra bits on it that aren't on anything else, so as exciting as that sounds.
It doesn't matter if people take the music for free, because you can't illegally download a ticket to a concert.
I like songs that you can have both the physical release and an emotional release.
When you say 'R&B,' people's minds automatically go in a place. How about I just say, 'Here's a tape; you can check it out on iTunes. You tell me.'
I have a bunch of albums I would love to get re-released.
It's been said that Bill Gates has come up with something that'll be released in December that's gonna put a lid on counterfeiting. If that's a fact then it's really interesting to own your own product - with all the potential methods of downloading.
If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is.
