I love test screenings. Some directors don't, I know. But I love it. I think it's because I come from the theatre and in the theatre, previews are where you really have to listen to the audience and really feel how they're responding. I found our test screenings incredibly useful.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

I actually love going to a lot of theater movies. I just love watching actors work and seeing how people tell stories.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting.

I like movies that instill passion in the viewer. I like movies that can teach us about who we are as people.

I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.

I love theaters. I love the event of going there and seeing a movie with a lot of people. I like the community coming around the story.

I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't.
