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.

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 am a very active audience member. I want to be moved. I want to be confronted. I want to feel.

Number one, as an audience member, I tend to like violent movies and TV shows because it's not real.

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.
