QUOTES
12:28 "We brainstormed to brainstorm to brainstorm, came up with an idea. The directors got involved, the producers got involved. And from that beginning evolution, we then got down to what really mattered to me, and it came back to the human trafficking and child slave labor aspect."
14:24 "By bringing the attention to people that live in Beverly Hills... all the nicer places in the United States, to bring it to their attention and realize it's going on under their noses. And you can do something. Don't turn a blind eye because it makes you as bad as the person that's carrying on with this horrible act."
20:03 "My documentary is all about tearing up and really getting involved in all of the first world, high class places and making sure that people, your listeners and everybody else, know that under their nose, this stuff goes on and you can do something, you're just choosing not to, or your ignorant."
23:05 "Being able to be successful, relatively... has given me the freedom to decide what I want to do. And this is what I want to do. And there's nothing more important. There's nothing more that I think about. There's nothing more that I care about. And there's nothing more that I've been compelled to take action in such as this."
24:30 "When you know what the process is to create the result that you're looking for, it's very easy to find. And so, for me, I always look at processes. What are the processes that we need to put in place? Can we create a process? And once you've been able to do that, anything, then you can get it done."
