I expect the audience to assume TV is stupid. I accept that it's my job to overcome it.
You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.
Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.
Writing is a great way of talking with an endless audience for never-ending time.
Performing in front of a live audience can be pretty intimidating, so having a full head of hair was important to me.
Comedians sometimes forget that there's an audience. You gotta be conscious that you're performing for other human beings.
My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that. I just started doin' it in front of an audience and had to deliver.
It's such a rare and rewarding thing to be in control of space and time for two hours a night, to go through a journey and take the audience along. There's nothing quite like it.
I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.
I think any time anybody sees the bad guy show emotion and you're not hitting the audience over the head, there's always a tinge of empathy for that individual.
The relationship between the media owner, their relationship isn't strictly with people and audiences. It's also with advertisers, and that's the most relationship in radio; in fact it pays the bills.
If I could get the respect of 14-year-olds, I'm happy. They're the toughest audience.
I want very much to communicate science to as wide an audience as possible, but not at a cost of dumbing down, and not at a cost in getting things right.
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
I love little theatres because it's very intimate, and you can have a very easy rapport with the audience. Everyone's in the same room.
One of the things I love about theater, one of the reasons I'll never give it up, is that it's fifty percent the audience's responsibility.
One of the things that's clear to me from interviews that I've read is that the more popular successful jazz musicians had audiences above and beyond the music community.
Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves.
My general take on American music since 1969 is that it's just getting stiffer and people are getting more uptight - audience, performance, and palace guard.
