Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

The people who don't like it tend to dislike it intensely. That's unfortunate, but not surprising when one deliberately goes against audience expectations.

I feel like everyone wants to make a movie that they feel passionate about watching.

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.

I don't read the reviews, the blogs, or anything else. Instead, I feel the audience when I show the film.

I always question if somebody else is going to love my films. I think that's what art is about - it's so individual.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

You make movies for the people. If critics happen to like them too, well, that's a home run.
