“I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club.
I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again,
but that’s okay.”

“They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

“The way it’s being deployed with the gifs, and we talked about Kane Parsons and what he managed to do with ‘Still Life’ in our other conversation, it seems to me that if I could like a Cindy Sherman photograph - get the character, psych up, and then take the picture, that would communicate with the meme world we’re living in today,” he said.

“[But] how can you become relevant as things are moving so fast? I’m still looking for that, and I don’t really have an exact answer for you. And I’m still trying to find it.”

He has always been one…

Of course… absolutely!

The effort in humane art expressed emphasizes the time as precious and finite resource we have to express the life experience in the most accurate attitude.
