Isn't that hilarious?
That's him though. It's like, yeah, if someone else had designed this escape vehicle, I'd be afraid. But no, I did it. So he had no pause at all. That's so crazy. So that's kind of confidence. That's the people you want to hang out with.

It changes your perception of life. And by osmosis, you pick up, I call it this proximity phenomenon. I took a painting class with Sebastian Kruger, a painter in Germany. I saw this class that he gives for a week. I went, I'm going to go do that class. Not to learn how to paint so much. I know I'll be a better director by learning paint because it's another way into creativity.

Again, you just want to get better at creativity. So just do as many jobs as you can that you're interested in. Because if you just do one job, you barely know that job. You have to do all these other ones to kind of inform it. So I went out there. He doesn't teach you anything. He just paints.

I'll show you the examples before and after just by, I thought for sure I did a pre-painting before we went out there. It looks like crap. I went, I don't know what brushes he's using and the kinds of paints. It's a different method. He must have some trick. I go and he's painting this amazing Mick Jagger photo reel in front of us and we all can paint alongside him.

I go, what paint are you using? It's regular paint. What brushes are you using? Regular brushes. How come I can't do that? I go back and suddenly it's a different painting. I'm going to try one more. It's more photo real. When I show it to you, it's going to blow you away. It looks like I dropped the brush. I was like, holy shit. It's because I finally given myself permission to do it.

Because you have the ability, but you're blocking it because you go, I don't know. I don't know. There's something I don't know. So again, you're just chopping off your own leg. And by being around somebody who's doing it at that level, suddenly you can do it too. It's like breaking the M field. Like as soon as I made mariachi, no one had ever done anything like that.

Suddenly there's 10, 12, 13 movies made, you know, very low budget because they go, oh, it's possible. Now suddenly you can do it too. And when it's in the room, when you're right near it, it's just a phenomenon that you can just glean off them without them teaching you anything.
