How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you’re doing?

I wanted to do live things, needed an audience. Geoff was more of a studio-guy. A real programmer. So pretty soon it was: nice to meet you, bye.

We’ve drifted into this presentation mode without realizing the cost to the content and the audience in the process.

To make our communications more effective, we need to shift our thinking from “What information do I need to convey?” to “What questions do I want my audience to ask?

I don’t take reviews very seriously, but in their totality I think they are representative of how the audience feels, and of what their reaction is. There’s always one guy who doesn’t get it.

I was kind of a Rickles comic to begin with. I was caustic, and I was abusive and mean to the audience.

It’s cool that people like what I do, but I don’t work for the audience.

When you tour, you regain the music and the connection with the audience.

I had a feeling about Shakespeare’s soliloquies, that there should be a real exchange between the actor and the audience.

I’m fascinated with what an audience will take away from an image.

Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There’s nothing like a live audience.

All the sound the audience hears goes from the mixing console through a bunch of Lake processors.

I have to grow with my audience.

I put the sing in single—especially when I’m in the shower. Does anybody have any requests they’d like to shout out while the water’s getting hot? As always, silence all cell phones during the duration...

I was born to do sitcoms, where you get an immediate response from the audience.

I think artists are scared to have same-gendered pronouns in their writing, and I don’t think it’s because they’re scared to be out, because gay artists are visible, but they don’t want to alienate an...

I don’t feel that any kind of narrow stereotypes are representative of the work I’ve done, nor the range of the audience that work has found. I’ve played lots of different roles, and they’ve connected...

Every show I play, whether it’s for an audience of 15,000 or 50, I look at it as a party, and I’m the host.

Every year they come back with less of an audience, … so the more they can do to sustain themselves (in summer), the better.

God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

We didn’t tell the audience that this was a setup, that we were shooting a video, … It was weird; there was this huge, like, ‘Ahhh.’ I heard this groan and moan, and then everybody...

Adam Kuambiana umerudi nyumbani ulikotoka, ukiongozwa na imani na mwanga wa wale uliowapenda na kuwapoteza. Hatuwezi kukumbuka kwamba umetutoka bila kukumbuka kwamba uliishi, na kwamba maisha yako yalitupa kumbukumbu nzuri tusizoweza kuzisahau haraka. Jumanne, siku...

We’re here because we want the board of trustees and ballet management to respond to their audience, their subscribers, their patrons and restore live music, Future Subscriber If There’s Live Music.

Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don’t think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.

My rejection of the idea of entertainment in its current form is based on the audience that comes with it.

I love the theater. I love being on stage; I love the live audience. I also love dressing up and all of the make-believe.

The producers felt that 24 would be good for the audience, to really get to know who these 12 and 12 are.

The purpose of music as an art form, is to engage the audience.

If a company is second rate, the logo will eventually be perceived as second rate. It is foolhardy to believe that a logo will do its job immediately, before an audience has been properly conditioned.

People rush around in the summer to try and find like-minded musicians to put together. Packages are all the rage. I prefer keeping it smaller, having a tour that’s manageable — both for me and...

My sense is that the network news should continue to play an important though diminished role in bringing information to people. After all, a combined audience of 29 million viewers is still many times the...

Coconut Grove helped us get the rights. The play moved me and seemed perfect for our audience. It felt like it was in the stars for me to do.

As Intel architecture moves into these new spaces two things will happen. The first is that we get to re-energize the PC category. It’s already great, but this ability to have digital and entertainment content...

The Beatles respected their audience,

It is a great rush to come up with a joke that gets a good response from the audience. It’s gold!

Because of the audience I get and the fact that these people aren’t traditional comics buyers I don’t think the comic industry looks at that and thinks that is a very respectable thing. I’m very...

The vaster the audience, the more vulnerable the people watching the media.

Some actors – myself included – like to know where your character’s going: you like to know what the arc is for the character so that you can plan where you’re going to give beats...

I hate how things must be classified. How this is applied to musicians implies that they somehow contrive their products and have studied the demographics of the audience.

The larger the audience the better. The more pockets in the world, the more interesting and exciting because it just makes it that much more liberating. This makes it that much more liberating for the...

An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

I was always drawn to the blues. Alberta Hunter at the Cookery was a life-changing experience. I only wanted to get enriched as a performer as I got older, to have an audience which got...

Queer Eye’ is not much different from a lot of reality programming — the premise of the first date, marriage, rehabilitating somebody and then the tips for audience — the spin is mainstreaming gay characters.

The rocky terrain wasn’t the reason we were on uneven footing. She had no feet, and I was in love. We made love like Nickelback makes music—and I enjoyed it, but I wish the fans...

It’s absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There’s a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it’s better for the audience.

Or take this girl, for example. At a meeting just outside Paris, a fifteen-year-old girl came up to me and said that she’d been to see [The Double Life of] Véronique. She’d gone once, twice,...

It’s a gamble you take, the risk of alienating an audience. But there’s a theory – sometimes it’s better to confuse them for five minutes than let them get ahead of you for 10 seconds.

Not every show needs to reach the same size of audience, or same width, of a ‘Sopranos’.

Every year, the networks lose a little more audience, and cable gains in the summertime.
