I think a lot of the most interesting work in art and in films are often kind of polarized opinions and affect people in very different ways, which may be less successful commercially, but they elicit a dialogue that's quite interesting.

More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.

I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.

As much as we'd like to believe that our work is great and that we're infallible, we're not. Hollywood movies are made for the audience. These are not small European art films we're making.

I think it's a shame when the arts have to suffer because of corporate greed. People will always strive to make film, and the only important thing is that we keep trying to make ourselves heard and keep making our films, no matter what the climate is.

In America, the only truly popular art form is the movies. Most people consider painting a hobby and literature, schoolwork.

It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
