Everyone's attention span is getting shorter. As a result, everything - films, music, art - gets watered down and dumber. Every now and again, you get something great, but not often.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

Actors are conditioned to develop a system for expressing as much as they can in the shortest amount of time because you're going to get all cut up in a movie.

I just like, when you look at people who have long careers in film, they're able to make films that are far away from themselves, because they're metaphorical. It creates more opportunities, I think.

Attention spans are short. Like, eight seconds short. That's why it's necessary to grab people's attention immediately.

Cinema has the capacity to be so physiological.

I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.

I think audiences crave something new. I don't think audiences want the same old thing, no matter how much conventional Hollywood tells you that.

People's attention spans don't run too long these days.
