How did we sign 46 of the top 50 grossing filmmakers in the world? I was in a competitive environment, in a competitive business, in a competitive arena. The entertainment business is dog-eat-dog and it’s been like that since it started. It has never changed. I read everything I could get my hands on about the golden years of the movie business and I used it to start CAA. I made up a reading list and gave it to everyone we were working with. Our group knew history. The reason that was important is because when you started talking to filmmakers and they start talking about Frank Capra, or David Lean, or Howard Hawks, or Willy Wyler, or Michael Curtiz — who all made some of the great movies. If you don’t know what they did how can you talk to a filmmaker? How? You can’t. How did we sign every director in the business? We spoke their language.
