When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.
If I'm only going to play one more match, I want to take a wicket with every ball, not try and defend a boundary.
And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.
Still, it can be more effective to accomplish what you need to accomplish with the minimum effort. Watch Anthony Hopkins. He doesn't appear to be doing anything. He is so still that you can't see him working, but you are drawn into his character through his very stillness.
I wanted to make a lot of good pitches.
The time that people aren't expecting what's going to happen, I find that's the best time to really cause the damage that needs to be done.
Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest.
Gaslight Anthem's thing is its power. It's just like boom and explosions and loud, and play with everything you got.
I just serve big and play big. That's my game style.
I have an affinity towards extremes.
If you're going to be an R already, you may as well be 'The Hangover,' and you may as well be as shocking as possible, because that's what delivers the most return.
It's not as if I ever left the pitch thinking 'I wish I'd given a bit more today.' You were always going to get everything from me.
I work on the assumption that in the crowded mass communication field today you have to get in and get out with your message as quickly and simply as possible. You must communicate the maximum with a single glance.
I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all.
That's my goal for every fight, is to hit them as hard as I can.
Every film's different; every story is so different. But I think I've always been attracted to try to take something minimal and to maximize it cinematically. To find out if I can I really go all the way with one idea.
You always want your films to go as far as they can.
Robust activity on one site is so much better than halfhearted activity on multiple sites.
What I learned then was there is a certain power in a three piece band. The more people you put on that stage, the more diluted it becomes.
There is a natural link between the effective running of my businesses and the effective direction of philanthropic funds. I apply business principles to my philanthropic work so that maximum value is given to the causes I support.
I want our fans to get their money's worth. If they are going to spend $40 to come to a show, it has to be good, from beginning to end. I like razzle-dazzle; we all do.
I want to make sure I give the fans my best while I'm in my prime.
I think the thinking is, in the comic books, I should pack as much onto a page as possible, because, you know, it's kind of the cheaper format, and you want to give readers as much as you can for their dollar.
To me, the best of 'Jack' is when we have a very good, but small idea, executed to the nines.
If it was up to me, every show would start at midnight, and I'd give people the best of me.
