Text Quotes
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act  (Audience Quotes) I suppose you are a fool to do it, but if you happen to be more interested in the political question, than the size of your audience, then it doesn't matter  (Audience Quotes) Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience  (Audience Quotes) Contented, unambitious people are all very well in their way. They form a neat, useful background for great portraits to be painted against, and they make a respectable, if not particularly intelligent, audience for the active spirits of the age to play before  (Audience Quotes) In my collection, to me at least, the theatre of the past lives again and those long-dead playwrights and actors have in me an enthralled audience of one, and I applaud them across the centuries  (Audience Quotes) It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose  (Audience Quotes) You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience  (Audience Quotes) I hate speaking in front of a large audience. I don't know where it came from... But its just this gut-wrenching fear of slipping up and doing something horrible  (Audience Quotes) Popular art is normally decried as vulgar by the cultivated people of its time; then it loses favor with its original audience as a new generation grows up; then it begins to merge into the softer lighting of "quaint", and cultivated people become interested in it; and finally it begins to take on the archaic dignity of the primitive  (Audience Quotes) Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another  (Audience Quotes) What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love  (Audience Quotes) Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness  (Audience Quotes) Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time  (Audience Quotes) You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds, the play will work better, because it's a narrative art form  (Audience Quotes) If we were in a movie, the audience would never believe someone as hot as you would end up with me  (Audience Quotes) If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs  (Audience Quotes) A comedian can only last till he either takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious  (Audience Quotes) What is competent writing? Competent writing is writing that efficiently describes ideas and concepts to an audience, using a grammar that the audience can understand  (Audience Quotes) Oh, God, I though, this is like two people in a play, in a moment the curtain will come down, we shall bow to the audience, and go off to our dressing rooms  (Audience Quotes) Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak?  (Audience Quotes) If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on  (Audience Quotes) I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach  (Audience Quotes) It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling  (Audience Quotes) There is only one excuse for a speaker's asking the attention of his audience: he must have either truth or entertainment for them  (Audience Quotes) At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture  (Audience Quotes) Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience  (Audience Quotes) The old prose writers wrote as if they were speaking to an audience; while, among us, prose is invariably written for the eye alone  (Audience Quotes) The sad thing is that when movies like this fail, executives think that proves there's no audience for unusual, original pictures - because they think they've made one  (Audience Quotes) I don't want to sell the audience on the limitations of my own existence when that's not the point, that's not what I'm interested in  (Audience Quotes) I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not  (Audience Quotes)
