I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.

To me, it's important to try and make an emotional connection with the audience.

You got to have an emotional connect with the audience who watch you.

I guess my idea of a good audience is one that's quiet and listens, but also that's alive: they respond, they're getting the jokes, they're with me. And that' s been happening.

I don't know what an audience wants to see but I know what I like to see.

I do some things just to entertain myself, and I figure that part of the audience will be entertained as well.

It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.

I'm a great audience myself. I tried to keep in the background while others were on, but sometimes I'd just get hysterical.

I like giving the audience a lot of stuff to look at, and rewards for repeated viewings and paying attention.
