I think there's a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me; people over 45.

I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.

What Chavez has done [in Venezuela] is that he has brought extreme poverty to an end.

What needs to happen is more of a global understanding, and I believe the United States can work as a global partner and not be the hegemon.

You don't always have to have an e-book. You can have a real book. I'd like to see the old way maintain.

I believe in intermissions. I lived through this experience with JFK and Nixon. JFK should have had an intermission. It should have come right after the Donald Sutherland scene, because then there's just too much information flooding in. You need a break. Same on Nixon. It was a long film, but I couldn't help it, with that kind of subject.
