More Quotes from Ted Demme:
My job is to make sure it does not become spring break out there. I can let you in, but I can't let your other five friends in. It's not based on age or looks. There's an amazing group of people from all forms of business, whether it's entertainment or music or great photographers, great art directors, great publishers, amazing businessmen and women, and it's a great mix in age. You want to maintain that glamour and classiness. It's an overall blend.Ted Demme

I want them to have what they need. I'll tell you this, ... I don't want to grow old in L.A. I'll make movies and do clubs somewhere else. It's a city of youth. And dreams. I'm very East Coast. I want to experience the world and L.A. is not the world. And I want to be around my family. L.A.'s a great place to do what you gotta do. When my kids are in high school, I bet you New York will be so much better.
