What's the theme tying these "Pictures" quotes together?
They use "pictures" in very different senses — a physics metaphor for models of reality, political rhetoric, Hollywood filmmaking economics, and a reflection on art itself.

"People in Hollywood are going make pictures where ever it's the least expensive to make them" — a plain observation about how cost drives filming locations.
Is there a quote about art versus pictures?
