Whatever it takes : life lessons from Degrassi and elsewhere in the world of music and television

Summary/Review: "The producer of television's iconic Degrassi franchise tells stories from behind the scenes and of making it in the music and television worlds. In the process, he shares a lifetime of experience and unique insights into how dreams are turned into reality. Whatever it Takes is not just a slogan. It's the title of Degrassi's theme song, one that's been heard millions of times all over the world. It's also a philosophy of struggle and self-belief leading to accomplishment, as well as the story of an exploring mind, an adventurous pursuit of experience, ringing failures, and the willingness to see things in a different way. Whatever it Takes is a star-studded, rock 'n' roll trip through the explosion of show business in Canada from the perspective of someone who has been at the heart of it for over forty years."--
