Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.

Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it's the most serious time of your life.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies you're a teen idol by default.

I found my niche as a character actor and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

When I found out I had to take off my shirt in 'Teen' movie I panicked and hit the gym. I was like 'It's going to be on film documented for my children to see. I can't be 140 pounds. I need to put on a little bit of muscle.'

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy.

The movie industry is committed to working with the technology sector to find innovative new ways to deliver entertainment to consumers.

Technology has not only changed the way people are able to view movies it has changed the way our industry produces and advertises movies.

Well in our industry it's that the movies cost so much money to make they have to appeal to a broad audience. And I think that's part of what will loosen up in the future as technology makes it cheaper you'll be able to make films for a more selective audience. I think people will be able to make more personal movies.

This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.

Obviously CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.

I can't get my head around the fact that the technology of the first two movies which are forty years prior to Star Wars is so much better than any technology they had in Star Wars!

For me modern technology has ruined romance and movies - nobody can run to the airplane gate anymore.

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture and really the only basis still remains the rule more so today I think because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.

Everything's changed. The technology is the big thing changing now the way movies like 'Alice' or 'Avatar' are made. And technology on the other side the audience side. Word spreads so fast now on a movie with the Internet and piracy is something coming down the line like in the music industry.

Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick of course didn't like what he saw. And occasionally I have my doubts.

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense but with technology like it is these days it's not. You can film videos and everything with a Canon Mark II and shoot a movie. They're doing it for next to nothing by comparison. I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.

I'm of the opinion that the technology is in a place where there's really no excuse not to just make your movie.

I've tried to make 'Strictly Ballroom' impossible to date. It does feel a bit '80s but I consciously made sure there was no technology in the movie that could date it.

You can alter movie singing so much because you go into the recording studio and just technology for recording has gotten so good you can hold out a note and they can combine a note from take 2 and a note from take 8.

Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal.

I'm home schooled and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.

I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I'd have like one teacher which was really bad.
