Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.

Sometimes what someone else does is really not what you expected them to do, which to be honest, sometimes doesn't work.

I just like to do work that inspires me, and I don't pay any attention to whether it's a high- or low-budget movie.

When I was 20, I went to Paris and tried to meet French women. It didn't work.

When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing. When I moved to New York, I started to realize that I wanted people to see the stuff that I was doing, and I wanted it to mean something to them.

The media's about to become a lot more effective.

My personal belief is that everything is always happening all at once.
