Billions of people have seen and been influenced by movies in the short history of this industry.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

Making movies has become such a golden ring, and it's all such a big business, that the rewards system has gotten totally out of whack. Suddenly, you're treated in a manner befitting someone who is actually an important person.

Films do seem prestigious and glamorous, but when you create something, you want people to see it. TV still reaches so many more people; it still really appeals to me.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.

I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.

It's incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

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