Audience Quotes

With every year that passes, I get further away from my target audience, and while I’ve been happy to think of myself as a father figure to these kids, I’d be a little distressed to be thought of as a grandfather figure Picture Quote #1

Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don’t get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The guileless aren’t our audience - it’s the critical thinkers we love Picture Quote #1

Frankenstein’ did not invent the fear of science; the novel found its audience because it dramatized anxieties that already existed. Although popular entertainment can, over the long run, shape public perceptions, it becomes popular in the first place only if it addresses preexisting hopes, fears, and fascinations Picture Quote #1

I’m worried that the audience is being conditioned. That’s my real fear. Because if they don’t want to see wrinkles on the screen, if they actually fear looking at them, then it’s only going to get worse. Those of us who don’t want to shoot up and cut and sew, we’re just not going be cast Picture Quote #1

When I’m on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It’s a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside Picture Quote #1

Every show, every audience is different, and I just love leaving the venue feeling like we all know each other a little bit better Picture Quote #1

In the same way that I’m open when I speak, I’m that open on stage. I feed off the energy of the audience, too, so they’re feeling what I’m feeling Picture Quote #1

Being onstage is just a feeling that you cannot duplicate anywhere else because the energy that the audience is giving you forces you to give more energy. It’s such an output and exchange of energy. You can’t do that anywhere else Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed that a dance evening energizes an audience, that an audience goes out feeling chemically stronger and more optimistic. This is what I understand about dance. And this is an important thing. We need this. Our culture needs it Picture Quote #1

You get the feeling that on a lot of days the audience for most music would kind of rather not be faced with the artist, especially because we’ve been educated to think that the artist are these special creatures are otherwordly and aren’t like us Picture Quote #1

In television, there’s this weird sense of isolation from your audience; you kind of get this feeling that you write the show for you and your wife and your friends and the other people who work on the show. It’s our little show, and then it goes out into the world, and somebody watches it Picture Quote #1

Rather than trying to create an audience, just try and create music that feels good to you Picture Quote #1

Films with female protagonists don’t attract many eyeballs. Most of them are perceived as feminist films. If Bollywood starts giving women major roles in entertaining movies, then the audience, too, will open up to the idea of watching commercial films in which the actresses do more than just play the role of the hero’s love interest Picture Quote #1

As often I have been a science fiction writer writing science fiction for the community of science fiction readers, I am also, for good or ill, an American writing American literature to an American audience. Most fundamentally, though, I am a human being writing human literature to a human audience Picture Quote #1

Whether your audience is in a sweaty basement club or nestled in a favourite armchair, good money has been paid, and attention has got to be grabbed if you are not to be heckled off the stage or find your novel discarded in favour of the latest volume of ‘Fifty Shades of Whatever.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It’s good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe Picture Quote #1

Figure skating is theatrical. It’s artistic. It’s elegant. It’s extremely athletic. And there’s a very specific audience for that Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Like the he-man movie stars who turn out to be queer . . . or the silent-film actors whose voices sound terrible recorded--the audience only wants a limited amount of honesty. [ellipses original] Picture Quote #1

There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience Picture Quote #1

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations Picture Quote #1

For a lot of people, film is still the dream - the captive audience in the darkened theater - but I love TV. I think it’s fantastic Picture Quote #1

Film festivals are a great vehicle for gaining an audience for your film, for exposure for the talent in the film and for the film makers to leverage opportunities for their films. I love the energy that film festivals bring Picture Quote #1

As a screenwriter, there’s so many layers you have to go through in order to tell your story. You have to write the script, get money for the script, shoot it, find distributors, make it into film festivals, all of that just to get to your audience Picture Quote #1

If you get to bring a little movie on the festival circuit, it’s a nice experience because you get to see it with an audience. People who go to festivals to watch films are usually a little more eager to enjoy them. It’s exciting because it’s like you’re going to the film’s opening night at every festival Picture Quote #1

Every film takes on its own life. I find it very interesting to show an audience some part of history that maybe they don’t know Picture Quote #1

You give your film away to the audience once it’s done. I never look at my films after the premier. The film needs to start its own history Picture Quote #1

I don’t read the reviews, the blogs, or anything else. Instead, I feel the audience when I show the film Picture Quote #1

I’m always searching for a signature sound and melody that resonates with the film and audience and becomes integral to the film, game, or show Picture Quote #1

Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you’re in their presence. Film stars don’t know what it is to have an audience Picture Quote #1
