• “I’ve heard the democratic argument [for the Internet] and I’m not an elitist, but Winston Churchill did make some kind of sense when he said the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Let’s not kid ourselves: A mashup is not a movie. It’s offensive.”
• “Certainly at the beginning of this thing, the Internet was an enemy. It was just a disaster for people like me who are classically trained in film school.”
• “The Internet is a tool. If everybody just wants to jump on the tool and say I, hey I can make a mashup, or I can create my own news show, or show you my gymnastic ability, what is it about? We’ve got 6 billion people showing off. I don’t understand. How do you judge? What is life for? Is there a hierarchy of quality or not? Or is it all the same?”
