Audience Quotes
-
It's always been impressive to me when someone can really do what they want onstage. The audience has confidence in the performer and the performer has confidence in the crowd.
Henry Rollins
Black Flag
-
As an actor and an audience member, it's important to remember that the future will further define the meaning of the present with a show like 'Once Upon A Time.' Sometimes we're just collecting dots, and other times we're connecting them, but you know that the dots that are collected will eventually get connected.
Michael Raymond-James
-
The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience.
Ryan Adams
-
We must recognize the eloquence of our passions and refuse to be taken in. Instead of saying, 'That false friend always did despise me,' say: 'In my present state of agitation, I can't see clearly, I can't judge clearly; I am only a tragic actor who is declaiming for his own ears.' Then you will see the lights in the theater go out for lack of an audience, and the brilliant sets will be nothing more than painted cardboard.
Emile Chartier
-
Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it's popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they'll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way.
Steven Spielberg
-
Luckily for me, I genuinely like my audience. They really are a good bunch.
Henry Rollins
Black Flag
-
The audience creates its own personality, I've noticed, in the first five minutes. They will either be generous, funny, silly, withholding, academic, analytical, grudging. And I'm fascinated with how that gets constructed, because it happens right away.
Laurie Anderson
-
I am very lucky I chose 100% of the songs on my show. My audience loves to hear absolute classics and I am in the wonderful position in being able to play them.
Jo Whiley
-
A live audience with live reactions feeds a different sort of acting that will then inform your film work, and vice versa.
Richard McCabe
-
If the speaker won't boil it down, the audience must sweat it out.
Raymond Duncan
-
I reach readers rather unintentionally, I think, and those readers likely connect with the slant, the off-kilter, the part of the road you can barely see from the well-traveled road. So, when I'm writing, I'm not thinking about audience at all. Instead, I'm trying to see behind those shrubs, down that hidden path. We're the weirdos of the world and there are so many weirdos.
Dawn Lundy Martin
-
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
Agnes Varda
-
It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy.
Nicholas Lea
-
There's no huge message and there doesn't have to be, but we're having as much fun, us and our audience, as any band out there, I think, and we're proud of it.
Joe King
The Fray
-
Sitcoms are like summer stock. You put it up in three days, and then you do it in front of an audience, so it's a really great transition from theatre into camera work.
Susan Egan
-
Hardly any filmmakers can just make anything they want. Obviously, there are some exceptions, like Steven Spielberg, but he has that mainstream mentality and the kinds of films he loves to make are the kind that appeal to this big, mass audience.
Catherine Hardwicke
