THE ACT OF DEFIANCE
I will defy those who say it can't be done. I will defy those who dare to dream. I will defy those who feel they need to have special or certain equipment in order to succeed. I will defy those who actually believe they are really celebrities or important because of social networks. I will defy corporations and companies who try to shut down and stifle the independent artists. I will defy the masses for they are the harbingers of mediocrity. I will defy - J.D. WATKINS
"The most dangerous people in the world are the determined ones" - from J.D. WATKINS
"When people say they don't care about the money don't believe them. Everyone cares about money and you have to start working with people who respects and appreciates what you have to offer them" - advice from Bill Gates in Rochester, N.Y. 1997.
"I may be a vulgar man but I assure you, my work is not" - dialogue from Mozart in the greatest movie of all time; AMADEUS
"As a man I am fallible....., as an artist I am superior" - J.D. WATKINS

- Patrick Heron author of the book THE NEPHILIM & THE PYRAMID OF THE APOCALYPSE inspired myself to create SPHINX; WATCHERS OF TIME which is about who really built the ancient pyramids and what does it all mean. This production will be part of my RENAISSANCE THEATRE and that is where skilled and trained actors conduct readings from my scripts and screenplays.
- NEWTON'S EQUATION will also be part of my RENAISSANCE THEATRE. NEWTON'S EQUATION is about Sir Isaac Newton's obsessive quest to find out exactly when the world will end. Newton studied the bible at great lengths to learn the secret of the universe.
- A PLAYBOY MODEL WILL GET MURDERED BY A MAGICIAN - My good friend and MISS NOVEMBER 2005 Raquel Gibson www.raquelgibson.com is scheduled to be in my magical music-video titled 'SMOOTH CRIMINAL' and the song is by Michael Jackson.

He is my greatest nemesis and my most dearest friend,...he is Timothy L. Terrell and he is the creator of www.thoomcast.blogspot.com which is a podcast of social commentary and review of society and society's fads.

He was in SPIDERMAN 2 and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
His talent is as big as his stature. He is Ricardo Monitlla and he is a designer, photographer, visual-conceptual artist and generally an all-around cool guy. His website is; www.ricardomontilla.com & his email is; hello@ricardomontilla.com.

- (Steve Schneider is a film/theatre critic for the ORLANDO WEEKLY - www.orlandoweekly.com. He now does critiquing work in New York as well as Florida. He has been voted 'Best' Critic and journalist in Orlando, Florida. Here is his critique of my work..........)
"Having witnessed his work firsthand, I suspect James D. Watkins may be a genius of some shape or magnitude. Just try to forget that that endorsement comes from a guy who voted for Mondale and DuKakis, gave 'Death to Smoochy' four stars and genuinely preferred New Coke. An old-school impresario in the mold of Ziegfeld or Welles-albeit one spared the crippling handicaps of funding or common sense......"
"When I am gone, they will love me" - quote from Orson Welles right before he died and who also directed what many consider the greatest film ever 'CITIZEN KANE'.

"WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART was so much more than opera, such a total musical genius, creator of so many different kinds of music that he is excluded from a head-to-head assessment to anyone".
- from the book CLASSICAL MUSIC; THE 50 GREATEST COMPOSERS & THEIR WORK
-by the author Phil G. Goulding
