I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

When you go on stage and it's your show, you don't really have to work that hard to win that audience because you've already won them.

I'm getting to a point in my life where my whole attitude about the relationship between myself and the audience is totally different.

All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.

I never want to lose the audience's attention or break up the party, but at the same time, it would be weird not to do some new music.

People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.

I know I'm writing better now than I ever did for adults because I'm writing for an audience who know that they don't know everything.

You can't explain the feeling of singing hit songs to an audience - it's like being a genuine sports star at the peak of their powers.

It is important that the audience should understand every syllable of every word, for only then can they grasp the meaning of the song.

I never got on the 'Stranger Things' train. Everybody else did, but for me, I'm the wrong audience because I don't like sci-fi/fantasy.

Always warm up the audience with a joke....If you are not a particularly funny person, make sure that you inform them that it's a joke.

The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

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.

People listen to music with cavemen ears: Is it a bird song or the call of a lion? The audience at a musical is dancing in their hearts.

The encore is the short piece after the program has finished, where the performer brings out something that the audience doesn't expect.

It was because of the success of the Super Soaker, I was able to at least get an audience with people to present some of my other ideas.

The great thing about YouTube is there are no gatekeepers. No one is waiting to tell you if you're good enough. It's just your audience.

I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It's like they're the instrument you're playing.

Rules limit you, and once you start thinking about what the audience wants or expects, it becomes a trap that a lot of artists fall into.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

I am growing with my audience. When I made my debut, I was 24, and they have grown up with me. They are with me with each choice of mine.

This movie [Everybody Loves Somebody] is as much for the general market as it is for Latino audiences. That's a really exciting prospect.

I don't want the 35-year-olds in my audience to think of me as as 'pops' giving the kind of advice that only 65-year-olds can understand.

My relationship with American audiences is the exact same as it always has been. They never came to see my films, and they don't come now.

You make an open-ended proposition and the audience completes it somehow. That’s what you hope an artwork to be-a constantly living thing.

The truth is, when you want a great show, it's not 'entertaining' the audience - it's you sharing with them... an experience of communion.

I happen to think that the Latino audience is an essentially traditional audience and will go to Fox News for traditional American values.

I miss live audiences, because it's like no other form of entertainment, where the audience is a major part of the production every night.

That's the time that I enjoy: away from the cameras, away from the audience, the scenery of going out to eat and everybody's staring at me.

You don't psych yourself up for these things, you do them... I'm acting for the audience, not for myself, and I do it as directly as I can.

The British audience was very important to me. I have always looked away from American to non-American audiences and so this was important.

I stumbled on a joke idea and style that worked, the audience went with it and, from that moment on, I was hooked. It's an amazing feeling.

You can have a knack for dancing, but you still have to practice till your feet are bleeding to be worthy of being in front of an audience.

Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.

If you make something with love and, you know, passion and you tell a real story, I think it will always find an audience somehow, you know.

Television is not an easy medium, as keeping the audience glued to the TV screens day after day is something which requires a lot of effort.

I was the first one to allow a projectile to come off of the stage and into the audience. And I kind of take responsibility for the mosh pit.

I've seen a lot of Pearl Jam shows, and the only reaction I've ever seen is the audience being completely supportive and loving every moment.

To me, art's highest purpose is to entertain, to enlighten, to inspire, to evoke emotion and to change an audience in some way, big or small.

Trump is a room-reader. He'll slow down a line, rephrase a point, work in a pause, and ride the energy of his audience wherever it takes him.

If you change a character too much, the audience falls out of love with the character, but characters need to evolve and grow over the years.

There should be an element of mystique between the fans and the artist. That bit between the stage and the audience. I think that's necessary.

'Snowpiercer' is a little bit more experimental, I think, and crafted for a slightly different audience. 'The Giver' is more about teen angst.

I find that when I tell lawyer jokes to a mixed audience, the lawyers don't think they're funny and the non-lawyers don't think they're jokes.

With Faith No More, even though we're a bunch of old men, what I remember about our best shows is some sort of confrontation with the audience.

I'm always interested in audience interaction. Not so much aggressive audience interaction - I'm genuinely interested in how people see things.

It appeared as if I had invited the audience into the water with me, and it conveyed the sensation that being in there was absolutely delicious

As a writer, it's disheartening to write books that you pour your soul into and not have them distributed widely enough to find their audience.
