I remember clearly watching a 'Sooty Show' at a theatre and telling my mum I wanted to be up with the puppets, not in the audience.
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.
I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.
If the networks can get audiences to tolerate pop-up promos by the dozens, maybe they'll start selling pop-up commercials, too.
The thing about theatre is that when it is actually occurring, when you have the audience on your side, you absolutely think you can will them to do anything. It's exhilarating.
So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.
I feel that 'Person of Interest' is the same quality as 'Brotherhood.' I think it's one of the smartest network television shows on the air today. The audience is a wide range of individuals.
Listen, wait, and be patient. Every shaman knows you have to deal with the fire that's in your audience's eye.
I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.
Well, news is anything that's interesting, that relates to what's happening in the world, what's happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.
While some debate its helpfulness at generating monetizable traffic, when Digg points to a story, huge audience spikes quickly follow.
It is important that the audience should understand every syllable of every word, for only then can they grasp the meaning of the song.
The next day I was in my school's production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn't recognized before.
What hasn't surprised me is that audiences, as we found starting with box sets, want control, to decide how they watch it. Appointment viewing is slowly being put slightly behind.
For the BBC and others, a free website is an obvious and relatively cheap addendum to their main purpose of streaming news and entertainment on screen to a mass audience.
Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.
I quickly learned, however, that a university education is not a prerequisite to reading Shakespeare. After all, his original audience was not college-educated. Neither was he.
I'm really only happy when I'm on stage. I just feed off the energy of the audience. That's what I'm all about - people and laughter.
I think I can connect with an audience because I know what it's like to be on the other side of it and I really remember all of that.
I am evidence that you don't have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job.
You can watch someone on-stage cry and cry - but in the audience you feel nothing. It's easy to become indulgent. For me, what's important is the story first.
