People can be so apathetic. They continue to ignore the real people trapped in poverty and homelessness. It's almost maddening.

Tim Robbins had real confidence in college. He literally stole actors from the theater department at UCLA to be in his plays. The department heads got so mad at him.

People go to movies or listen to music because they want to be inspired.

People feel powerless and useless in the world. But they can buy something. It can give them a sense of value, of power.

When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!

When you're with real people, you don't have to be with virtual people.
