Rolling Stone cover

Magazine Cover0 Comments

2rowgqhy7sbhyhswDepp appears on the cover of the July 2013 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. He talks about relaxing, retirement, and duct tape on his jeans.

I realized one morning as I was going to a thing my boy had at school – one of those things where, you know, they get up and sing a song? I had to be there at a certain time, and, of course, I was running late and I was reaching back to check and see if I had my wallet and passport and stuff. I always have a passport for some reason. And so I reached back and I thought, ‘Jesus Christ!’ There was this really long tear – and there were no undergarments involved. That’s the general approach. And so, yeah, I just immediately looked for duct tape. I know, it’s pathetic. And then I continue to wear them.

The Talks interview

Interview0 Comments

Dore gives an interview to The Talks. She discusses what makes her a good blogger, regretting what she posted, and what she reads online.

As a reader, if I go to a website and feel overwhelmed by information, I leave. It’s like Twitter, the more people you follow the less you can read. If you buy a magazine, you read it, you stop, you take it back, you know what it’s delivering to you that day and that month. But when it’s all over the place and you feel like it’s not well edited, it’s exhausting. I think the more content there is on the Internet, the more it will need real editors like me, people with a real voice.

VCs should take less equity

Interview0 Comments

In an interview with Ryan Lawler of TechCrunch, Graham discusses the value of the YC investments, how the accelerator dealt with too many companies in a previous batch, and why venture capitalists should move quickly:

Well VCs have financial models for how much they need to invest, and what percentage of the company they need to buy for it, in order to get positive returns. And they’re really nervous, somewhat justifiably so, because if you’re going to lose money as a VC firm you wont know it til about six to eight years later. So these models, they become sort of religious about them. But, they really feel like they can’t buy less than 20% of the company in the Series A round…and in a competitive deal since that number can’t move, then the only number that can move is the valuation.. That means that the amount invested increases, arbitrarily. These companies would like to sell half as much stock for half as much money, but that’s not one of the options. If there was a VC that broke ranks and said they would give companies the money they actually need instead of it being determined by random external forces, they would get all the good startups.

I think it means something not only to me, but to the franchise. Ryan was originally envisioned as a white male. The fact that the studio, the producers and the director went out on a limb and put a black man in such a strong part in a classic movie first made in the 70s, when things were so different, speaks volumes too.

Absolutely! I truly believe in it. I’m not saying it’s not ephemeral…I’m saying true love may be out of the box. My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were hitched for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves. I’d be likely to go for somebody who is like me. I do like creative people, so whatever that means. Yeah, authentic and creative.

There is a point to it. We both have a very specific idea that we want to do this [the ceremony] in spring or fall, like in those months, but every time I’m busy working. I want something very family oriented and laid-back.
