If an actor is bored, then they are boring to an audience. I definitely don’t want to ever be that.

Regarding the creative: never assume you’re the master, only the student. Your audience will determine if you’re masterful.

So many songs are just a wink to the audience, but people take them seriously. ‘My Humps?’ C’mon!

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

I sang ‘American Pie’ a lot in my stage set. It had a knack of uniting an audience in a sing-along. It’s a clever song about American history but wrapped in a fantastic tune.

Audience response to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. back in the ’60s – well, I was frankly surprised by the show’s success and the attendant publicity for David and myself.

The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.

My wit is only as stupid as the audience.

I think comedy as an art involves the audience as a participant as much as is involves the artist.

Like the he-man movie stars who turn out to be queer . . . or the silent-film actors whose voices sound terrible recorded–the audience only wants a limited amount of honesty. [ellipses original]
