- Have you ever noticed that the entertainment business is the only one where there has never been somebody picking up a machine gun and going berserk? A guy in a post office in Cincinnati will bring an AK-47 into his place of business because somebody used his coffee cup. Nothing like that has ever happened in the film business and never will. Never will. You know why? The stakes are too high. It's life and death. No one is ever going to jeopardize their place in the food chain. I'm not suggesting they do, but it's a brutal business.
- Look at the movies people are watching. They're about nothing. You invest nothing. People can't invest real emotion because it's too terrifying.
