“I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to take my music and how I wanted...” — Cody Simpson Quote

I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to take my music and how I wanted to be portrayed, and it was sort of, not done for me, but more directed.

It's nice to have a lot of people supportive of what I'm doing.

Sometimes I wish there could be a little more mystery and I'd been an artist in the 1960s when you could release your music and play the shows and no one would know anything about you other than that.

I love being unpredictable and unexpected.

Obviously spending my teenage years in music, and in popular music, I wanted to continue this career, but in a way that allows me to dictate it and create it myself as opposed to relying on third party or more corporate decision making.

I am happy to have been directed by my father, Priyadarshan, in the Malayalam movie 'Marakkar.' My dad said nothing about my performance during the shoot. But once done, he complimented me as a filmmaker, saying that I gave the output he needed.

Well I directed a few feature length things for HBO in the late eighties.

Terry Gilliam has directed some of the best examples of what I like to see in a film - one of them being 'Baron Munchausen.'

Mother was actually a great doer and organizer. All the special occasions were directed by mother.

I've directed independent film.
