And it's not only films, I'm pretty unaware of anything that's going on in popular culture right now.

When your culture comes from watching TV every day, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities. None of that happened where I was. You're almost taught to realize it's not for you.

Movies are such an integral part of American culture. We're so spread out in this country, and movies offer us a chance to come together and have a communal experience.

I come from a poor family, so really, the culture I know best is the street, TV, school.

I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw.

I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to 'Tron,' but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn't really see any of that stuff, and I haven't been able to catch up since.

Popular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it's popular, it's not culture.

I come from an everyday middle class family in India. The film industry reached us only through our television sets and cinema halls.

I'm somebody who's really contributed to culture. Popular culture.
