I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.

And by banning [smartphones] from the set, the whole crew tends to work tighter with each other. And then it just becomes a thing where people kind of fall in love with the idea, 'This is the film-industry that I signed up for! This is really wonderful.'
