I Think Movies Are Getting Dumber, Actually.

It's Everything And I Always Make Decisions About The Cast.

I'm Not Criticizing Hollywood Because I Work There, I Partly Live There. But I'm Saying This Is The Way It Is, Commerce Is Taking Over Art.

There Is An Access To... People Can Now Afford Very High Quality Technology, Where You Can Have A Very Good Reproduction Of A Large Picture On A Large Screen At Home. People Go Out Less.

I Get So Used To Working With Writers That My Prime Occupation Is Development.
