Since the big band started I'm just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it's very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music.
It doesn't really matter if this movie's a success or not, because it's already out there.
I thought I was half white or something because I only know white people as Ferguson as their last name.
