We cannot escape that Hollywood is in the middle of a wave of technological change. The current angst over all the implications of new entertainment technology is nothing new.

Hollywood's full of transients. Everybody comes from somewhere else.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

Hollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.

I'm fascinated by how Hollywood has changed since I started. Today it's about immediate delivery. There's less risk and less art.

I think what Hollywood has done for so long, is make movies for themselves.

To me, Hollywood seems a little bipolar. Things happen; things don't happen. Someone's in a movie; someone's not in a movie. I've learned not to build my expectations.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.

What is overlooked is the astonishing amount of history Hollywood has got right... For better or worse, nothing has been more influential in shaping our visions of the past than the commercial cinema.
