I think my favorite is independent cinema. I think that, especially with last year's Oscars, all the films nominated were independent cinema. Not one of them was a studio blockbuster. I hope that there's a return to the glory days of independent cinema. Because at the moment, you either have to raise $300 million to save the world from zombies or you get $100 bucks and a mobile phone to make a movie, and that middle ground budget has disappeared and I think that's an absolute travesty. That's where the art really happens and that's where the enjoyment really happens is the happy medium of a budget to make something to its full potential and be small enough of the scale where you can really hone in on telling a story and acting.

The greatest gift children can give you is that, for the first time, you're not the center of your own universe.
