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.

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.

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

I decided at age 9 but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.'

For the past few years I was the more visible Asian performer and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.
