When I watch a movie for the first few times I'm usually thinking about where I was in a given scene, who was next to me, what we were doing etc. But after I've gotten through all of this, when I'm really watching the film itself, then I get moved.

I like movies a lot, and I feel really excited when I see a movie that moves me the right way.

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

I actually cried during 'Titanic'. It was one of the few movies I've seen in the theater multiple times.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

I cry at movies.

As a viewer, I love watching movies. There has to be an emotional connection.

Movies aren't machines. They interact with our brains.

I don't think it's right to define films as commercial or art house. What's important is that a film evokes a certain emotion when it's being watched.

I wanted to make a film that wasn't just a biography. When you watched it, you actually felt that you watched a movie, that you had an emotional reaction. In order to do that, I felt that I had to really keep myself emotionally raw while working on the film. I had to feel myself crying, so the audience could be moved, too.

There's no wrong way to experience a film.
