What you want is the thing that critics love and audiences love, but that's the hardest thing to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The audience wants to be attracted not by the critics, but by a great story. You must deliver to the audience emotion - and when I say emotion, I mean suspense, drama, love.
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.
It's hard to market a movie when you're at the mercy of critics and journalists.
I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films.
One can never anticipate how audiences will respond. One of the lessons that I've learned over the years is to that no matter what my feeling or opinion might be about a given film, once you give it to the audience, they own it.
Critics can be harsh and I think it's going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I'm not superficial and that I'm not just a pretty face.
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.
You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place.
