Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.

When you spend your life acting and being other people, as opposed to being the one person that you are, you learn that life is gray sometimes, not black and white. That what you thought was true isn't necessarily true if you switch sides.

When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.
