Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off.
When audiences look at an action actor like myself, sometimes we are very easily stereotyped or characterized as one type. They forget that we are actors, too.
Actors are always grabbing each other on stage, looking in each other's eyes, making a moment so private, the audience doesn't know what they're doing.
My victory is when the audience buys a ticket to watch my film. I am extremely thrilled when they give it a thumbs-up.
I felt audiences are happier to take comedy people who play darker people because there's a link between the psychosis of comedy and the psychosis of being a twisted character.
Why would I care what other people are thinking? I don't care what an audience thinks of me.
Once you've experienced the warmth of an audience, the achievement of getting your first laugh, and entertaining them, singing or playing piano, it just keeps it all going.
In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.
Stand-up will always come first. I've been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It's euphoric.
I spoke to a million in one service, in Korea, in Seoul. And that was the largest audience I ever have had.
We constantly run lines together before every show too, and then there's a long, traditionally long, story to tell the audience every show. Today, we're doing it twice.
Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.
Just as actors are afraid of child audiences because they're so honest, I would be scared stiff of going before the big folks.
I had a hard-scrabble childhood with my parents. I have a lot of baggage. To come down to the footlights and accept the audience's affection inside a Broadway theater - that didn't come easily to me.
A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.
There are some who speak well and write badly. For the place and the audience warm them, and draw from their minds more than they think of without that warmth.
Life is drama you play your part every one out here are audience to judge you make sure you playwell
I long for an audience. I ache for it. I think that's one of the hardest things about the television medium is that you don't get that. You don't get that immediate response.
It always gave me the creeps when I saw performers who desperately wanted the audience to like them. That's not what I'm about.
I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.
I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.
