"Everything's in real time. The people are there. We're there.... It'll be all of us together creating as soon as, " he said.

Even Young's in long run manager, Elliot Roberts, is usually still regularly surprised simply by his client's endless flow of "against-the-grain" ideas.
"There's never per day that will be certainly not something new, be it on Pono, or on his music or playing reside and what we ought to do, or on LincVolt, his electric car which he is just editing a film about, or the book he's writing, inch Roberts said. "He's simply a creative animal. He cannot control himself. He just keeps getting ideas. inch

"It's just the way it really is, " Young stated. I like to do things exactly where I see a opening and I want in order to say something. "
