Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.
‐‐ Liza Minnelli
Audiences are very willing to be taken somewhere, and to ask an audience beforehand what it wants is probably, I think, a mistake. Much better you should tell them what you want and hope they agree with it.
‐‐ Harold Prince
Audiences aren't fools - their judgement really is important. And the true heroes of films are the investors. They take the risk, after all.
‐‐ Stephen Frears
Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.
‐‐ Cameron Mackintosh
Audiences can be very judgmental.
‐‐ Clive Owen
Audiences could never relate to me as anything other than Tori Spelling.
‐‐ Tori Spelling
Audiences deserve better.
‐‐ Leonard Maltin
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
‐‐ Greg Kinnear
Audiences don't want to see the kind of self-indulgent, boring dance that is so prevalent today.
‐‐ Mark Morris
Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where you're both championing a character and you're revolted by them.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
Audiences have become so much more sophisticated, and they're looking for different eyes and different ways to tell a story. And 'Scandal' certainly gives us the freedom to take those chances.
‐‐ Tom Verica
Audiences in every medium are becoming far more savvy. No one goes to watch a Tom Cruise movie any more just because it's starring Tom Cruise. No one gives a toss. Concept is what makes actors raise their game. Everyone's on merit now.
‐‐ Joe Dempsie
Audiences in London called me the girl with the black cherry eyes.
‐‐ Maureen O'Hara
Audiences in mainland China know how to discuss movies.
‐‐ Andrew Lau
Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo, and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.
‐‐ Lee Van Cleef
Audiences know exactly what's coming and they know from the beginning of the movie that everything's going to be OK and there will be high jinks that will get you from the beginning to the end, and eventually all the misunderstandings will be worked out and everyone will be in love.
‐‐ Dana Fox
Audiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don't do emotional films.
‐‐ Ravi Teja
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
‐‐ Janis Joplin
Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.
‐‐ Andrew Scott
Audiences like to be made to feel that there is a world where things go right: where big emotions can happen and yet feel safe. This is why there is a constant tension in Hollywood between studios who want happy endings and writers who want to explore the human condition. There is a time and a place for both!
‐‐ Alison Owen
Audiences like to see the bad guys get their comeuppance.
‐‐ Charles Bronson
Audiences love Paul Taylor, and so do I. Not everything, and not always, but year in, year out, he gives me more concentrated pleasure than I get from any other dance company.
‐‐ Robert Gottlieb
Audiences make their minds up about people they see on screen, just like they do in real life. That's what fascinates me in film. You see a character and have to think: is this person different to what I assumed he was when I first saw him?
‐‐ Steven Rodney McQueen
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.
‐‐ Adam Savage
Audiences respond in entirely different ways. One thing is unanimous - music binds us altogether.
‐‐ Aleksey Igudesman
Audiences seem to have a limitless appetite for vampires and for fantasy in general. Unlike many other British actors, I haven't been building up my pension appearing in films like 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter,' but fantasy has now got a grip on me. I am also appearing in 'Game of Thrones' as the head of the House of Lannister.
‐‐ Charles Dance
Audiences want great story telling; it's why white people watch my show 'Black in America.' It's why black people watch 'Latina in America.' All of that is statistically shown and proven but it was because it was good story telling about people who were outsiders.
‐‐ Soledad O'Brien
Audiences want to see intelligent movies.
‐‐ Harvey Weinstein
Auditioning and actually acting on a set are two different things. When you audition, you're in a room and you don't have anything to play with and you don't have anything physically in the room. Whereas on set, you have direction, you have costumes, and you have other actors to work with. It's a completely different thing.
‐‐ Adelaide Kane
Auditioning for a couple of years, 99 per cent of the time you are doing an American accent.
‐‐ Jai Courtney
Auditioning for 'Philomena' was such a traumatic experience because I had three callbacks, and I was absolutely positive that I was just an option.
‐‐ Sophie Kennedy Clark
Auditioning for something you already know and love is terrifying.
‐‐ Emily Berrington
Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.
‐‐ Kelly Reilly
Auditioning is always so different for different things.
‐‐ Josh Hutcherson
Auditioning is an entirely different part of what we do as actors.
‐‐ Laura Spencer
Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
‐‐ Adelaide Kane
Auditioning is so nerve-racking.
‐‐ Leslie Mann
Auditioning is such an unnatural thing. You're in a tiny little room with, like, seven people cramped together, acting to a casting director; just, none of it makes any sense.
‐‐ Jane Levy
Auditioning is the most terrifying thing I've ever done. There must have been four or five of them where I completely froze up and walked out of the room. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.
‐‐ Trevor Donovan
Auditioning is the worst.
‐‐ Rashida Jones
Auditions are an opportunity to play and go in there and bring the character to life. The writers have it stuck in their head and haven't seen it jump off the page.
‐‐ Jodie Sweetin
Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.
‐‐ Mayim Bialik
Auditions are just torture. I'm trying to get better at it. It's a very difficult thing to do. You go into a tiny room with a camera with somebody who is doing this with 100 other people, and they're so bored, and then you have to be like, 'Hey! I'm gonna show you what I got!'
‐‐ Kurt Braunohler
Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.
‐‐ Tatiana Maslany
Auditions are so much fun. A lot of people dread auditions; they think they have to do it in order to get the job. I don't really mind if I don't get the job, as long as I get to do something interesting in the audition. It makes me feel more creative as a person.
‐‐ Chris Geere
Auditions are very strange - you're there to win, to seek approval. They never get easier, but I did realise that you're there voluntarily, after all.
‐‐ Darren Boyd
Auditions make me nervous; any time I have to perform, I get stage fright.
‐‐ Octavia Spencer
Audrey Hepburn, for me, was the end-all, be-all style icon.
‐‐ Natalie Morales
Audrey Hepburn has influenced me.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
