Quotes about expensive

1. It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film. There's a philosophy that the Internet should be free, but the reality is that piracy will destroy the film industry and film as an art form because it's expensive to make a movie. Maybe you'll have funky little independent movies, and it'll go back and then start up again some other way.

But that also makes it the most valuable time you have, as you alone stand to reap the profits from spending it wisely.
