Cinema is a temple and who am I to say which person deserves entry?
Thirty years ago, we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews.
The public has lost the habit of movie-going because the cinema no longer possesses the charm, the hypnotic charisma, the authority it once commanded. The image it once held for us all - that of a dream we dreamt with our eyes open - has disappeared.
I go to anything at the cinema that gets the hype. I'm so easily seduced by it.
Most people don't watch a movie four or five times; they watch it once.
Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.
When a film is good, the lines between single-screen and multiplex blur.
I go to the theater, all the time. I'm not one of these secret movie, watch a 35mm print in my living the weekend it comes out guys. I'm not Jon Bon Jovi. I go to the Arclight, like a regular asshole.
Everything is very convenient now and it would be real nice if somehow people started going back to the movie theater. And it's people of my generation. It's their fault in a lot of ways, people over 40. It's their fault that the only movies are about robots and beautiful vampires. It's wild, all vampires are beautiful.
When I go to see something I'm in, or my friends are in, it's like a home movie. When I just go to the movies and don't know anyone in it, then it's a real movie.
I feel the wall that divides films screened online and in the cinema is becoming less and less significant.
It is important that alongside the blockbusters there are stories that can inspire and audiences can experience together in the cinema.
'Rent' audiences tend to be pretty vocal. They scream and cheer a lot.
I don't like to go to theaters, because I don't like the way most people behave in theaters.
We are living in an age where teenagers are not going to the movies.
If I am not able to go to theaters confidently and watch a film then I don't expect people to watch my film also.
