When a writer becomes a reader of his or her own work, a lot can go wrong. It's like do-it-yourself dentistry.
There's nothing wrong with raising venture capital. Many lean startups are ambitious and are able to deploy large amounts of capital. What differentiates them is their disciplined approach to determining when to spend money: after the fundamental elements of the business model have been empirically validated.
I thought 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' was terrible. I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, so I don't know what went wrong with that.
A family with the wrong members in control; that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.
