The best reason to go to the movies is to be with other people. Eating the popcorn, being with other people you don`t know. You see, when people are rubbin` up against other people like that, under the environs of being entertained or communicated with, humanity`s better off. People expand themselves, they get out of themselves. Love. Television doesn`t do that. Television is an isolating experience, sadly enough. I`m sorry to say it. But as good as it ever gets, it`s still isolating. You sit in your home and visit with no one. You drink your beer, eat your popcorn and be alone, that`s what you do. With movies, you gotta get out, man. You gotta get out and be with people. And that`s the best thing and that`s the responsibility. Once people are out and in a movie theater, then you can inform them about themselves.

A lot of these movies, they`re really enjoyable to see. Really, it`s like smoking crack or something--you walk out and you feel diminished by it. It`s eye candy, just violence and sex. Definitely lots of sex, people making out or showing their tits, which is always fun, but it wasn`t what I wanted to do with my life. I tried it - I tried doing this Angelina Jolie movie (Taking Lives (2004)), a popcorn movie, the first movie I did that`s about nothing. And I didn`t like it, because I do ultimately feel there`s enough crap like this. It`s so much more fun and harder and more challenging to try to make something that`s entertaining but isn`t wasting your time.
