I often begin movies with music in my head it's a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don't like to be too sweet in my stories and I like the abrasive clang the contrasting of sounds and cultures.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.

When you see violence in movies in general it's very quick and painless which isn't what it's like.

Our brand at Netflix is really focused on movies and TV shows.

Cinema is visually powerful it is a complete experience reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

We have a very wide range of content but the brand-newest movies what's happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option - not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others - of movies that are in the theater.

I really like the half-hour comedy. I really do. I know people that are in movies all the time and they you know they don't see their families as much. And that takes its toll over time.

I find that movies tend to fix the aesthetics of a story in people's minds.

I've never written a movie I'm not in the movie business. I go out to L.A. and I'm like everyone else wandering around in a daze hoping I see movie stars. I write the novels that the movies are based on and that feels like enough of a job for me.

Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
