The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.

A lot of what acting is is paying attention.

Sundance started with two acres back in 1963 that I bought from a sheepherder for $500. What has happened, I could see development starting to descend on the state of Utah. I thought I had better acquire more land to protect it. I thought that would probably be my legacy, to protect land.

Have a strong vision about the story you want to tell and how you want to tell it.

Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent.

I guess some mistakes you never stop paying for.

It's hard to pay attention these days because of multiple affects of the information technology nowadays. You tend to develop a faster, speedier mind, but I don't think it's necessarily broader or smarter.
