For Me, Batman Is The One That

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.

The Most Stressful And Difficult Part Of Steering A Large Movie Is That You Are Taking On The Responsibility Of Communicating With A Very Wide Audience.

You Have To Be Mindful Of The Size Of Your Audience, And You Have To Communicate In A Way That Lets Them In.
