So that, to me, is important that audiences are treated with an amount of respect toward their intelligence. Most Hollywood films don't respect their intelligence.

You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.

Cinema will always have an important role to play in society.

I feel audiences are not given enough credit for their intelligence.

It's important for cinema to keep on evolving: for people, and not only teenagers, to be able to go to a movie that has huge epic scope but has an intellectual and real story to tell.

The best cinema is about ethics.

At its best, cinema does retain a remarkable ability to speak to people of every age, from every background, and in ways that almost any other art form in popular culture struggles to compete with.

Cinema is much more than heroes and villains.

Audiences are smarter than ever; they know if filmmakers cheat an environment.

Films should be for everybody.
