Television and Cinema Verities # 10

“How do you create commercial product that attracts an audience but at the same time hold on to that which put you in the room in the first place?  When you forget how, you fail. When you remember, you win. That axiom defines those who are successful in this town and those who aren’t.”

- Purple Rain director Albert Magnoli, from my new book Purple Rain: Music on Film. (2012), page 118.
