You have a responsibility for the way you make the audience feel, and I want them to feel uncomfortable.
You have the power to pause stuff and you have the power to go to the bathroom. You can do whatever you want in your own home. It's a much more relaxed thing. It's more like a book, it seems to me. That's kind of the way I watch movies.
I want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, "That's what it should be like."
The thing I always say to any writer that I'm working with is: Just make sure that in any argument, EVERYONE is right. I want every single person arguing a righteous side of the argument. That makes interesting drama.
You can do something that walks a line, and invariably, whatever that line is, it will be crossed by people who don't know any better and want to ape the success.
I want people to surprise themselves. Instead of saying "Oh, god, didn't we already do this 17 times?"
