"Foreign capital to build new cinemas will help modernize China's aging cinema infrastructure, attract Chinese consumers back into cinemas, and increase demand for U.S. films."
"Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night.

"There's still a 1950s view of cinema, that there's one audience and they all want to see the same thing."

"I certainly wasn't able to get it when I was a kid growing up on the Lower East Side; it was very hard at that time for me to balance what I really believed was the right way to live with the violence I saw all around me - I saw too much of it among the people I knew."
"I think what happened there was just the budget would be too big to build these sets because nothing really exists here in New York of that period; you have to build it all."
