I need an audience way more than an audience needs me.

People come to the theatre to be excited and uplifted - I want to inspire my audience.

I want an audience that's passionate, that can be engaged.

I want the audience to be so involved in the sweep of the music.

I've always tried to make movies that pull the audience out of their seats... I want audiences to be transported.

You've got to work. You've got to want an audience to sit forward in their chairs sometimes, rather than sit back and be bombarded with images.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the audience would want. That's my job, is to anticipate ahead of the audience.

You want the audience to be uncomfortable.

My ultimate aim would be to captivate an audience, even just for a second.

There is always something wonderful about a live audience.
