It's more interesting for me as an audience member to see a movie about a loser.

I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.

I know I am always pumped, as an audience member, to go and see a Western.

When I'm an audience member I do not want to go and see something that I already know, I want to see something that I don't know. I want to be surprised and stimulated to think about something. I want the magic. I want to be in a situation of uncertainty; that's what excites me.

In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting.
