None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for 'Indiana Jones.' Nobody in their right mind thought 'American Graffiti' or 'Star Wars' would work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to make a film as an artist, and it's going to have to find an audience, you know. I don't know how big the audience will be.
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
I think you should make a movie that has an audience.
I thought I was going to make bigger films for mass audiences. And I wanted that. I actually had in mind a James-Bondian thriller.
The only time I have a good hunch the audience is going to be there is when I make the sequel to 'Jurassic Park' or I make another Indiana Jones movie. I know I've got a good shot at getting an audience on opening night. Everything else that is striking out into new territory is a crap shoot.
I want to make films that cater to the world audiences.
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.
