The arc of the celebrity phenomenon ultimately is: everything turns to dust and everything does go away.

Im very strongly in favor of the auteur theory.
people good-people
Most people, 95% of people, are good people. Its the 5% who get seduced by power.
responsibility unique rights
Theres something unique about the United States, a sense of individual rights and freedoms, and a sense of social and civic responsibility that we contributed to so much of the world. We lost that mission in the 1980s and 1990s, when we entered a gilded age, and the culture of individualism became a culture of avarice.
real promise looking-for-love
The promise of celebrity is a transcendental human state of existence. It's not real. We do know the fact that celebrities as mortal beings exist and if you are looking for love by being famous or being around the famous - ultimately that goes away.
art thinking cinema
I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form.
movie creating stories
I love the grandiosity of Hollywood movies, and even in independents, I love the canvas you can tell your story on. I love fiction filmmaking, you really feel like you're creating something.
humble humility keys
I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs.
