I think family movies have gotten so rich in this country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.
Movies are an expensive business.
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've always wanted to do a family movie.
Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world.
It was a wealthy family, and they heard me talk about movies, and they told me I should go into movies. That's the benefit of hanging out with rich people; they have no sense of what is or isn't possible.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family.
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
