What's cool is when you're able to give your audience imagination and you don't have to cage them in like animals.
If the audience are leaving in ambulances, you know you've done a good job
As filmmakers, we want the audience to have the most complete experience they can. For example, I interviewed Stanley Kubrick years ago around the time of '2001: A Space Odyssey. ' I was going to see the film that night in London, and he insisted I sit in one of four seats in the theater for the best view or not watch the film.
I want to sing for the broadest possible audience.
If a movie has more characters than an audience can keep track of, the audience will get confused and lose interest in the story.

We don't play to be seen. I'm addicted to music, not audiences.

I've been in love with audiences all my life, and I've tried to please. I hope I did.
You mustn't underestimate an audience's intelligence.
The audience might not be the size of Facebook, but how much time can you spend online and think, 'What did I just learn?
When biblical material touches on the natural world, we can legitimately use the tools of science.
