But you can't really know your audiences so well.

I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.

Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.

You have to be aware of who you're talking to in an audience.

Most of the big money people don't know what would interest an audience if you did it. They only know what interested the audience last time.

It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.

When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.

I know my audience, and they, in turn, know my cinema. When I pick a subject, it's for a family audience. I shoot and edit my films keeping them in mind. I'm dead sure about the product that bears my name.

Audiences are audiences.

I've always been really involved in figuring out who my audience is and how to reach them.
