What we want to see is stories that are going to be honest stories about the characters that we're telling them about.

A story is built on characters and reasons.

It's fun to present stories that have a character that, really, everybody wants to be.

I wanted to write a story that demanded the viewer's attention.

From beginning to end it's about keeping the energy and the intensity of the story and not doing too much and not doing too little, but just enough so people stay interested and stay involved in the characters.

Storylines are how characters create the plots involved in their stories.

If you create a good story that has a lot of story value... I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

If a movie has more characters than an audience can keep track of, the audience will get confused and lose interest in the story.

As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.

I think it's more interesting to throw people into a story and let them catch up instead of explaining and feeling like you have to slow down for them. I think audiences, for the most part, they don't want to be ahead of you.
