"Fairly well known, but James Cameron seems to only direct movies to pay for his deep sea exploration. Imagine becoming one of the best to ever do something, just as a hobby to fund the actual hobby you’re interested in. Most of us can’t even get the main quest right, whereas people like Cameron are doing main quests as a hobby. Some people are just built different."

Jamie Foxx
"This man should be studied. He is a top-tier actor, he sings like an absolute angel, he is an amazing stand-up comedian, and his impressions are spot on! He’s also a classically trained pianist, for which he went to college on a scholarship. And the director and producers of Ray did NOT know that before casting him as Ray Charles."

Idris Elba
"Idris Elba has a career as a DJ if he ever wanted to give up acting. I think he’s been doing both for nearly the same amount of time, maybe DJing even longer than acting. I got into his music after hearing some of his tracks in Phantom Liberty. Dude is really good."
