So that, to me, is important that audiences are treated with an amount of respect toward their intelligence. Most Hollywood films don't respect their intelligence.

I think the audience is pretty intelligent.

You mustn't underestimate an audience's intelligence.

I tend to believe that audiences are relatively well-balanced people.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

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.

Audiences deserve better.

Your audience is a lot smarter than you realize.

I find that here in the States, audiences are generally less knowledgeable, from the cognitive point of view, though they are emotionally more receptive.

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