“When my generation, those early days of television - I know I've been ...” — Jonathan Demme Quote

“When my generation, those early days of television - I know I've been thinking about this lately - my two flashes of me as a little boy. One, I'm standing in front of the radio freaking out that Nat King Cole's singing 'Lady of Spain', just this stuff coming out of the radio, and Guy Williams singing 'Wild Horses' coming out of the radio.”

“In early 1983, Gary Goetzman and I went to see my favorite band, the Talking Heads, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The show was like seeing a movie just waiting to be filmed.”

“I just remember the early days of Tenacious D. There was no talk or thought about doing a TV show or a movie.”

“In my early days, I was about 145 pounds. I was really a starving artist; the poster child for starving artists.”

“I can remember in my early days of writing going to sort of writers' functions and parties and things like that, and I used to get very irritated because when people heard that you came from the suburbs, they had this notion that it was very un-cool to come from there.”
