Audience Quotes
-
We're charlatans in a way, we're magic people. Part of the behind the scenes stuff is to loosen you up, to make you feel that you are experiencing this. This is my style, I did it in Looking for Richard, too. And I figure, if I can weave it into the actual play and get the audience interested, like the robes going up and down, they'll pay attention long enough to consume it.
Al Pacino
-
We're quite excited, because the audience went absolutely bananas. We did Paris (for the last DVD), and we thought we'd do Milan since we work there a lot, and it worked out really well.
Andrew Fletcher
-
You know, we’re not on stage, we’re not doing a play, so we don’t have a relationship with the audience but going through that process and also just hearing how much people love the film, you feel like you do have a relationship with the audience.
Virginia Madsen
-
The thing is when you're... well-enough known, you get asked to speak places, and they don't really think about whether or not you're qualified. They just want somebody that will be a drawing card for the audience. So it's up to you to decide whether or not it's foolish to get up and speak to these people.
Alan Alda
-
I like to have a peek, see what the audience is doing during the opening act, because it gives you a clue and gives you a good feeling of where you are - the air can be different in different places.
Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones
-
When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.
Alicia Keys
-
A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.
Andy Samberg
-
One of the great things about the film being so unusual and provocative is the filmmaker to me doesn't seem to have a definite opinion on the rights or wrongs or the immorality of behaviors and systems, he just presents a set of very unusual circumstances and asked the audience to partake in the judging of what feels right or wrong or what feels natural and unnatural.
Colin Farrell
-
.. I get more of a dreamy thing from the audience - it's more of a thing that you go up into. You get into such a pitch sometimes that you go up into another thing. You don't forget about the audience, but you forget about all the paranoia, that thing where you're saying, 'Oh gosh, I'm on stage - what am I going to do now ?' - Then you go into this other thing, and it turns out to be like almost like a play in certain ways
Jimi Hendrix
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
-
I have no interest in making music solely for a white audience. If that's what our audience is, I don't really feel responsible for that.
Noah Benjamin Lennox
Animal Collective
-
When you're in a play, you never really have a sense of what an audience is experiencing. The experience of doing a play is so different from the experience of seeing it.
Kate Arrington
-
I think the audience was aware that even when it was farcical, there was the sense that at some level this was about real experience.
Alan Alda
-
I like European movies because it seems those audiences are a little more patient. Those movies are always slower, where over here, the studio system freaks out if something doesn't happen every five minutes or if anything is confusing.
Rob Zombie
-
When the audience and the performers become one, it is almost nearly divine, where this oneness can actually meet in some, not physical place, but in some spiritual place, in the middle, not the performers performing, not the audience receiving, but all of a sudden that contact is made and it becomes wonderful.
Bill Conti
-
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
-
In the theater, I could envision myself as wonderful because of the audience response to my lines.
Eve Arden
-
When you play a smaller, more intimate venue, you can have real conversations with your audience, take risks, and stay current. You can also change the set list, on how the day feels or how the audience reacts. When you do arena shows, every arena looks and feels the same. You can't see who is in the room.
Jason Mraz
-
There are so few shows that are willing to take risks with their characters in the way that 'Homeland' does. And yet, the audience still comes back and loves those characters.
Raza Jaffrey
-
If you address yourself to an audience, you accept at the outset the basic premises that unite the audience. You put on the audience, repeating cliches familiar to it. But artists don't address themselves to audiences; they create audiences. The artist talks to himself out loud. If what he has to say is significant, others hear & are affected.
Edmund Snow Carpenter
-
Occasionally I'll just pull out a rifle and shoot one of my audience members. So far there have been no complaints filed.
Thomas Edward Yorke
