Quotes 

• Himself - Host : There is opportunity in chaos.

• Himself - Host : Right now with the polarization of it's citizens fueled by manufactured "fake news" and 'alternative facts', is pulling the country apart. This will have long-lasting ramifications in all aspects of our society.

• Himself - Host : You can say a cultural "echo chamber" has grown over time.

• Himself - Host : Not everyone who enjoys reality programming of pawn-store owners, survivalists or hunters may ever watch shows like "Modern Family." The further the push, the more it comes across that Hollywood believes it is culturally morally superior.

• Himself - Host : I'm not saying by any means the state of our nation is the doing of the decision makers inside Hollywood. But I am saying that the pursuit of the dollar by Hollywood and it's unwillingness to offer broader and more diverse stories that don't have to be tied to merchandising and franchise-building, are a factor that helped influence the split in our culture we see today, beginning after the end of the Hollywood Golden Age in the 1960s.

• Himself - Host : Hollywood does and will always follow the money.

• Himself - Host : Hollywood does and will always follow the money. The expenses involved in many Hollywood motion pictures today are so high; the business machines simply want to minimize their financial risk. This is why you see so many of the same types of projects, remakes, sequels, prequels, re-imaginings, and even the fracturing of existing brands in the pursuit of the commodification of Hollywood.

• Himself - Host : This is why it is so important to be mindful of Hollywood's love affair with the color green, and to look beyond the legacy way of "the business of show" and create our own products.

• Himself - Host : With that said, I am a strong proponent of us taking advantage of the tools we have available, right now, and to tell the stories we have of lives around us and in our communities, we can influence change. There is a real opportunity to cross the ideological divide ripping apart this country today.

• Himself - Host : Our roles as content creators come with a responsibility because many around the world identify with Hollywood as being the face of America.

• Himself - Host : There is opportunity in chaos. If more of us can get together to create films and television programming with a positive message, hire more people from broader backgrounds, and not limit ourselves and our potential by identifying one another only by race, color, sex, religion, sexual preference or disability, we can then, and only then, influence the masses to be more open minded.
