Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

Movies are an expensive business.

Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.

The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.

The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.

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.

A lot of things and a lot of money is involved in a movie. It is very upsetting when a movie doesn't fare well at the box-office.

Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well, there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.

Its not really about the movie business, it's about staying in the picture.
