Esquire Magazine:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Today's a great time to be any creative type of person, I think, and in just about every aspect of creativity, this generation is going to blow away every generation ever. Because we're the first ones with the Internet. I can get together with some friends, shoot a movie, cut it on my laptop at home, and then put it online. We don't have to listen to anyone.

Esquire: But if everyone does that, don't we just end up with a lot of crap?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Two things I have to say to that: One, in case you haven't noticed, most of what Hollywood puts out is crap anyway. And two, here's the new art of the twenty-first century: the art of curating, that art of plucking all the good stuff from a superabundance of crap. And then, when everything's online, you can check out the recommendations of people, of curators, you trust. On any given night, your chances of being able to watch a good movie will be higher. Why should you watch something that's not great?

"Psh, nice try older generations. Get ready to be blown away..."
