To me, it's important to try and make an emotional connection with the audience.

When you decide you're going to join a project, it's all about the gift you're giving the audience.

We try to connect with the audience as much as we can. We feel the energy from the audience, and it gives us so much joy and inspiration.

You got to have an emotional connect with the audience who watch you.

You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place.

I never take on anything that is just for the money or just for, you know. I always have to connect with it in a very personal way because I believe the audience will sense whether I'm into it or not, so I don't take on projects that I'm not really passionate about.

I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. The key is creating scenarios that people can relate to.

I love mythology and folklore, and I respect the time, money, and opportunity that a film gives to an audience. It's a chance to empathize, reflect, and learn, so I really want to understand before I sign onto a project: 'What's the potential of this thing? What are we seeing and learning? What are we empathizing to?'

When you go into projects, you can't look at it as limited; you have to dive into it wholeheartedly to be true to the writer's vision.

Something impacts me emotionally, art is a kind of outlet, and I figure it's the same for a lot of artists. The way my mind deals with things is cinematic.
