It causes you to start to think things in a quite different way than we had before. — Edgar Mitchell

The government is already involved from an entertainment standpoint. I mean, they regulate a large part of our entertainment.

Collaboration is being open to each other's ideas and benefiting from each other's perspectives in an open way.

First of all, I wish everyone who loved football could stand in the quarterback's shoes just for a play, because I think it would be tremendously humbling to anyone who loved the game to say, "I didn't -- I had no idea."
