Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think the way the media is going to work in the future is less something that the population consumes and more something that the population creates.

I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.
