Why didn't I sign the NDA?

Because I fucking hate NDA's and everything to do with confidentiality in entertainment. Paul's beatings and abduction were entirely the result of Disney/Sony producers using those agreements to make people feel important when they were just pawns for them to steal back the rights to Beatles songs. Peter was fine with it, but it's true that I didn't get paid as a result. I figured that Paul would pay me, not knowing he was tens of millions in debt... - My philosophy is radical transparency. This is true in politics, life and business. Part of the reason that people are keen to be in our Beatles films is that we let them see how the script was shaping up and I spread a bunch of gossip that Apple Corps told me. Radical honesty is the natural counterpoint to radical transparency. Instead of flattering people to make a movie, I usually tell people exactly what I feel. As long as there aren't a ton of sycophants around, it works really well. My plan is that Wellington will be constantly buzzing with Beatles tidbits and chatter. Peter has pointed out that there are some limits to this plan, but likes it. - With WriterDuet, there's no reason to be secretive. The timestamps are foolproof.

Sam was desperately hoping that I couldn't defend my pages, but he was wrong. Steve Barr found the same thing. Disney nearly crashed their servers to hack me. I don't want people like Michelle being nearly killed (or killed) by pricks that took massive upfront payments - $10 million each for the principals + Sam - so that they could pretend to be what we really are. Hollywood isn't my dream. Imagine is the culmination of Peter's life's work, and I'm just the person who put the pieces together and has to run it with Taylor and a few other young people that are keen to build it.
