Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.

There's like a shift in the paradigm about every 15 years in movies because one would slip through the cracks. I think if they were more inexpensive you would see many more eclectic comedies being made.

You know, going to the movies has always been recession-proof. It's fairly cheap entertainment; it's classic escapism.

You see movie stars advertising all sorts of things today for whatever reason. And it may be that it affords them the luxury to do smaller movies or to go and do a play. Because, otherwise, you have to keep doing movies where you get paid millions and millions of dollars to maintain a certain lifestyle.

I think more money can be very detrimental to movies and TV because things get solved economically rather than creatively, and that's never a good solution.

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

We live in an age when it is cheaper to buy the rights to movies than to make them.
