I want to build an audience that's willing to follow us in whichever direction we might choose.
Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.
I've got a small, loyal audience, which is great. And I appreciate that. They're there for me every time.
You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.
Behind the proscenium arch, you can't always hear what people in the audience are saying.
You never know what an audience is going to think about something. The ones that the audience doesn't get, I tend to let them go. I don't like to dwell on them too much.
The audience, that's who I care about.
Basically there are no stars anymore. The audience is the star.
I've always been lucky enough to have great audiences. It has been quite a life.
Maybe the actors that used to turn down William Goldman's scripts - where he wanted them to stretch and grow, and he was mad at 'em, and said, "Why won't they be a real actor?" - maybe they just knew their audience. It's too bad.
I know doing movies is where I need to be. That's where my audience wants to see me.
The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them.
Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see
Westerns are very difficult to predict whether they'll reach an audience or not.
I think test screening works at its best when the audience knows what it's getting.
It's always hard to explain why an audience ultimately responds to a movie.
I always intended to be light and open. I misjudged the American audience.
The audience is your first collaborator with the material. If that makes sense.
The audience is not your boss. They are your collaborators and when you collaborate with someone you don't have to listen to everything they think or say.
One of the things on a very practical level as an actor or actress is that when you do a play, you do the entire story every time you do it. You have eight shows a week. You have a rehearsal process of four to five to six weeks. And then once you're in performance, everybody else goes away and you're there with your fellow actors and the audience and the material and your life becomes about that. And you go through the story from the beginning to the end every time you do it and depending on how long you do it, that's where the craft comes in.
If I have a huge audience, I'd like a bigger audience; maybe slightly a slightly more illustrious audience.
The broader your audience, the more people you have to appeal to.
I didn't (and still don't) have comments [in my blog]. It's about simply writing for an audience of One.
Your audience is a lot smarter than you realize.
Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.
