Conservatives in Hollywood

| It's a funny thing about the conservative side of filmmaking, the conservative side of Hollywood. | |
| What happens is you get people like John Voigt, Sylvester Sallone, Mel Gibson, who have such big stars that doesn't matter, right? | |
| Their conservatism is not going to affect them. | |
| Maybe it'll affect them with certain people, but they're never going to be hurting for work. | |
| They've kind of made it. | |
| There's not a big movement on the conservative side to help out conservatives that are lower down on the ladder. | |
| What could they do? | |
| Well, people with that kind of power, I mean, with that kind of star power, they could form a studio. | |
| They, you know, that's been done in the past, you know, United Artists, you know, that kind of thing. | |
| They could have enough money and power that they could pull together a studio because that's what's needed. | |
| You know, that's why Netflix and Amazon is able to churn out so many films. | |
| You know, they have pooled their resources so that they're making the kinds of films that support what they believe in. | |
| We don't do that. | |
| Conservatives are afraid of investing in films because basically it's a bad investment. | |
| You know, chances are you're going to lose your money. | |
| So what we have to do if we really want to compete is create a system where we have, we're able to make 10 films and maybe one of them makes enough money to float the other nine. | |
| That's what they do. | |
| So I wish that they would use their star power and their influence to build something like that, but I don't think they will. | |
| It's not how the conservative mind works. | |
| You know, we're all individuals. | |
