Audience Quotes
-
Well, I think it's important to keep things secretive because what's happened so much is the press competes with each other to put as much information out there as they can and sometimes it can be very damaging to the films to have the stories leaked or certain plot details. I think it's important to have something remain secretive for the audience and something special for the audience so there aren't spoilers all over the internet.
Walter C. Pfister, ASC -
No matter how much I'm on and people are loving me, there's always some like, and it's usually a woman too, in the audience rolling her eyes, "Oh Wayne, you're embarrassing yourself." There's always someone like that.
Wayne White
-
I don't sing to people. I sing for them. I told that once to Elvis Presley. He bought it. After that Elvis sang not to but for the audience. A subtle difference.
Alvin Morris -
Opinions are like nipples, everybody has one. Some have firm points, others are barely discernible through layers, and some are displayed at every opportunity regardless of whether the audience has stated "I am interested in your nipples" or not.
David Thorne -
But sometimes it's good to dare yourself to do the unthinkable. And rather than stand in front of an audience with no clothes on, I decided to have a go at stand-up comedy.
Evan Davis -
I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
Nick Lowe Brinsley Schwarz -
Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.
Neil Peart Rush -
Acting on stage is a living organism you can never pin down, and I believe the audience feeds off that, too.
Hattie Morahan
-
I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?
Eric Clapton Blind Faith -
I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars...
Jay-Z -
The least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to.
Trent Reznor Nine Inch Nails -
When you're doing a play you get to go full speed ahead, all night, in front of an audience. It's a roller-coaster ride, responding to other actors, it feeds you.
Sean Patrick Thomas -
I want to grow up with my audience. I don't expect to be getting through to the younger pop crowd. I learned that from Paul Simon.
John Graham Mellor The 101ers -
Live audiences love me because I'm singing and actually am able to f**k with people live over the mic.
Willam Belli
-
Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them. There's not like this separate caste system where it's like, "I'm the musician, you're the audience. Never the two shall meet." It was a case where it was like, "Hey, you know what? I'm on your level, man."
Bradford Cox -
I dislike The Exorcist, and I found it a warning sign of the dangers in a furious cinematic talent putting the audience through it (a Hitchcock phrase) without purpose, or without the nagging moral anxiety that activated Hitch. You see, I don't think William Friedkin believes in the Devil, or cares about him. I think he found exorcism a pretext for a gross-out and he calculated there was an audience for it, or a crowd ready to be challenged. Maybe I'm too much of an atheist to stand religion being so thrashed.
Edward Jay Epstein -
It wasn't that people wanted things for free and asked for advertising to fund it - it's that these companies wanted to amass an audience whose "eyeballs" they could sell, and they gave people things for free to do that. Free services and content has been foisted upon us because there wasn't the will power to explore other options.
Astra Taylor -
Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.
Nicholas Lea -
As an actor, I've grown considerably. It's taken me years to get comfortable doing a romantic scene and dancing on stage in front of a live audience. I've really opened up a lot.
Sanjay Dutt -
I genuinely have never been in an audience where most people want that person to fail. I've never been in an audience like that, and I've never seen it as a performer. Only in my dreams, in which case they are always throwing tomatoes and going, "This is the most boring thing I've ever seen."
Laurie Anderson
-
I always put in my 100 percent. Once the film is over, I look at my next, because then it's up to the audience to decide my fate.
Ravi Teja -
I have 60-plus videos on YouTube and over 30 million views. Of those 60, only three or four are branded videos. I built that audience by telling stories the way I like to tell them.
Casey Neistat -
When you're standing in front of an audience like this that is so enthusiastic and so much behind you, it is very hard to give a bad speech. Even a bad speech sounds good in a convention hall like this.
Susan Estrich -
All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.
Shane Carruth
