I don’t think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You’ve got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition’s an opportunity to have an audience.

We were on tour so we couldn’t make it. But we saw the movie in Tucson with a regular audience during its opening weekend. By the time we left the theater, there were like 500...

I think Lady Gaga is talented. Madonna is talented, and the flair that Michael Jackson had. He was talented! Whatever it is that they do, they must be doing something right. They do have an...

An audience is so important. I would never have had the guts to dub in that big a laugh.

When you go to commercial, you want something to call the viewers back, and if you don’t have a decent act out, the audience probably won’t be there in the numbers you want when the...

I reserve the right to tell shaggy dog stories or even common jokes as part of what I’m doing. I don’t give a damn if half the audience walks out.

The whole premise of the show is that the audience comes in and fills out half a dozen cards before they go into the theater.

Ich habe die Überzeugung gewonnen, dass Kinder das beste und klügste Publikum sind, das man sich als Geschichtenerzähler nur wünschen kann. Kinder sind strenge, unbestechliche Kritiker.”[As quoted on Preußler’s official website.]

Generally, I’ve found that a heckler in an improv audience is just enjoying the show so much that they want to be in it.

The meaning you apply to what has happened to you is your decision. There will be critics that have their version, but God didn’t call them to be your audience, someone else did.

Audience can live without a movie but a movie cannot live without an audience.

I’m always trying to gain and keep the audience’s respect. I always want them to know that the show doesn’t think they’re stupid for watching.

Israel’s a small country but both the audience and programme-makers are very sophisticated.

I once watched several criminals engage in an organized argument, while an audience of supporters cheered them on, but I was so disgusted that I had to turn off the political debate.

When we started, we knew the show was going to be hit or miss, and we needed to find a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we’ve been able to do...

We had a way of doing it which was wonderful, … One of us would go in and say we were looking for my mother. At the door, they said, ‘Of course, go look.’ We’d...

Constantly risking absurdity and death whenever he performs above the heads of his audience, the poet, like an acrobat, climbs on rhyme to a high wire of his own making.

I had to go through my programs. There was no audience, no feedback, so that was difficult. I tried to stay within myself and stay present and go through everything. Today wasn’t the Olympics.

I don’t ever write with a particular audience in mind. I just write books that please me.

Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.

I love hearing my audience breathe.

There is an audience for everything; our job as writers is to do the work and provide readers with a choice.

Manny’s Filipino audience loves to watch him, but I wanted it to be more private so we could better work on going to the body and the other things we need to work on. Velazquez...

It’s the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

When students learn to wrestle with questions about purpose, audience, and genre, they develop a conceptual view of writing that has lifelong usefulness in any communicative context.

Books like Twilight are not art. They are mass-produced crap that is meant to be consumed by the widest possible audience, for the largest possible profit.

If we really exist merely to fulfill God’s plan: then life is a television drama; with God being the scriptwriter, the director, and, the audience.

The challenge to me as a director was for the audience to see the film as going on in a straight line, so that they did not sense all of these break-ups. I did not...

When you’re a performer, you have to please a large audience. And when you’re in politics, you have to please a large audience, too.

There’s always that relief you feel when you’re working on your own series that you can actually make it to your planned ending and that your audience will still be there to support you –...

We’re providing planning to a huge audience who’s never had access to financial planners before. This was always my plan for LearnVest. It was in my very first pitch deck.

Most of the debates I’ve participated in have been on Christian college campuses or on secular campuses; so, largely before a student audience.

A mirror is like my own personal reality TV show—where I’m both the star and only viewer. I’ve got to get my ratings up.

Breaking the fourth wall and having Dobie talk to the audience was ground-breaking.

I love doing theater so much – being in front of an audience and seeing how a character grows and develops with every performance.

It was surreal, … The audience at the taping started chanting, ‘USA, USA, USA.’

Wer für Kinder schreibt, übt den Beruf des Schriftstellers unter erschwerten Bedingungen aus, und dies freiwillig … Wer für Erwachsene schreibt, schreibt ausschließlich für Erwachsene. Wer für Kinder schreibt, schreibt automatisch für Erwachsene mit.”[As quoted...

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

When I play live, it’s a conversation that we’re all having with the song, and the audience… their response and relationship with the songs is as valid as my relationship with the songs.

It’s about individual women and their personal tragedies, … The play traces the arc of the grieving process and what the women’s lot in life will be. I was telling the cast last night that...

You can’t tell the audience — well, you can, but I don’t like to tell the audience — that anything they’re watching doesn’t matter.

When you’re playing in front of people, everything is external. It’s all going from you out to an audience. When you’re in a studio, it’s very internalised, it’s going from the air through you into...

Our audience is much smarter, much more sophisticated, and not necessarily because it’s older,

When I got a networking event, I don’t see a crowd of strangers—I see an admiring audience waiting for me to perform so they can applaud me and throw me flowers and business. I always...

I want to be back on Broadway one day. That’s a dream of mine. There’s nothing like live theater, and I think it’s so important for me to be able to be on stage with...

The reactions haven’t differed; the concerns have been different. When I read for a predominantly Indian audience, there are more questions that are based on issues of identity and representation.

I am excited mainly about the reaction of the audience more than anything else I love playing my instrument, but I really get excited about the reaction from the audience.

You don’t make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.

We are all actors, set on the stage of the world, as the curtains open we put on our best performance to this audience of life.

I will not do festivals. The thought of an audience that big frightens the life out of me.
