Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

I love when violent, dangerous art is done by people who are not violent and dangerous. I love that when George Romero was making 'Dawn of the Dead,' he was coaching his son's little league team.

The whole world is pretending the breakthrough is in technology. The bottleneck is really in art.

The purpose of art is to collide the intellectual and visceral together at the highest speed possible.

Technology adds nothing to art.

Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that's available.

In music, if you hit a wrong note, people forgive you. In magic when something goes wrong, the entire art is destroyed.
