At the end of the day, we all look in the mirror and tend to see our own self-perceived flaws.
The power of music is undeniable.
Whether a film is breaking into song and dance or if it's something like 'Whiplash,' I find it incredibly rewarding, and I'm drawn to those stories with a musical component.
The biggest thing is to overcommunicate your vision. It's so important to have real clarity as to what is inside your head, and sometimes that's really terrifying for people.
I'd love if between 'La La Land' and 'The Greatest Showman' we generate a new wave of movie musicals because, as an art form, musical narrative is so engaging and has produced some of the most iconic moments in cinema history.
I really believe in the power of cinema, and with it comes a responsibility to impart some sort of message for the better.
