One of the things I learned early on was the system of believing: you have to believe in what you say. The camera is the arbiter of truth; it's the all-seeing eye that can pick out discrepancies. You can't lie to the camera. You must believe in what you're saying, or the audience won't believe you.

I think that just because you've been through an experience doesn't make you the ultimate arbiter of what it means. We figure things out; we work things out through the help of other people who can engage with us but also be intelligently critical.

Arbiters resolve disagreements by making a final decision after considering both sides.

Conflict Resolution

An arbiter should be unbiased and not favor any party in a disagreement.

Impartiality Expected

While arbiters make decisions, they aren't always formal judges; they can be mediators too.

 So let me tell you a little bit how this was done. First of all, let me get you to the end step. This is -- we have a fairly complex process that, you know, software and musicians and so on, but when we're all done, we know that the ear is the final arbiter.
