Peter Jackson

I've always tried to make movies that pull the audience out of their seats... I want audiences to be transported.

While a report may say one thing, you've got to have the proofs, the evidence, the contracts, the paperwork, the expenditures -- a paper trail.

Jonathan Glazer

When you're making the film, you don't really think the audience; it's only when you start editing that you really start to became aware of your audience because you're thinking of how you communicate these ideas, and how lucid can you be, and yet stay within the language you've established.
