I work to please my audience.

Part of my job is to try and seduce people. It's what I get paid for, and if people get in the way of me doing my job I can be very difficult.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the audience would want. That's my job, is to anticipate ahead of the audience.

My work is to reach people with ideas, hopes, dreams, encouragement, insight, and revelation. That's what an actor wants to do.

My operas and my theatre works are very formal pieces.

I want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity.

I want to show audiences I can act.

I want my audiences to be as open-minded as my characters.

You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
