Young people should investigate where the filmmaker stands on the issue of file sharing, before they spend money on them at all.

Many of my colleagues are blissfully unaware of the global percentage of people who cannot EVER go to a movie theater, let alone with an entire family. I do not want to make movies for the rich.

I believe that we have a responsibility to make culture available for all people, not only those who can afford to go to the movies.

My hope is that digital technology will level things out more and that it will eventually eliminate favoritism. But technology cannot do it alone. The audience has to become more discriminating as well and not buy into every big tentpole movie because they have been brainwashed into thinking that's the movie to see.

Copying is not theft. Because when you steal something it means the other person doesn't have it anymore.

I don't believe that less fortunate people should have to wait until a movie is released on public TV for free, while richer people get to see it months in advance.
