I mean it allowed me to do that which was fantastic because we really get to see the character mature and deal with some things that are, that I think as an audience member, really pull us in.

I think once you've finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member.

It's more interesting for me as an audience member to see a movie about a loser.

I know I am always pumped, as an audience member, to go and see a Western.

I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.

When I'm an audience member I do not want to go and see something that I already know, I want to see something that I don't know. I want to be surprised and stimulated to think about something. I want the magic. I want to be in a situation of uncertainty; that's what excites me.
