- The Hollywood Dream, I think, is different for everyone.

I don't know that there is a standard definition of it.

Growing up, my mother and I would watch the Academy Awards every year.

I read People Magazine and I had this real connection to celebrity culture which was really defined by movie stars.

I was growing up in the blockbuster age.

Tom Cruise was a big deal, still is a big deal.

Hollywood has bottled this idea of this intangible magic that's inaccessible to most people.

(indistinct shouting) - I really can't think of any other form of mass cultural production that has had the tremendous influence and power that Hollywood has had, than like all histories of power.

Power is not afforded equally to all segments of society.
