There's a tremendous intellectual fervor among independent filmmakers, and that has to be cultivated.

I'm someone who believes the only way to see a movie is in a big theater, on a big screen, with a big bag of popcorn.

Each year-in the fields, commercial kitchens, markets, stores, and restaurants-millions of pounds of food go to waste... We need to find ways to get this food into the mouths of the hungry and not into the mouth of the dumpster.

The success of the movie industry comes from the story. And the story comes from somebody putting something down on paper.

Technology has not only changed the way people are able to view movies, it has changed the way our industry produces and advertises movies.

America's dumpsters should not be better fed than its people.

I don't think we can go back to the old days. But I think that what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don't have monopolies out there, so that people don't have a chance to compete fairly.
