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

Cinema is an art form.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.

Movies are art and the spirit of the movie depends on the creators.

I think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.

Movies are visual, aural, they involve people, and life, and ideas and art, they are so elastic. They can hold anything, withstand everything, and make you feel anything. Other arts can do that, but movies are the only ones that can incorporate other media into cinema.

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

With a movie you're creating from the beginning this particular work, let's not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let's just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.

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