Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me, it's important to try and make an emotional connection with the audience.
The principle element in a performance is risk, and if you're losing interest then by scaring yourself to death the audience will feel it and boy it'll wake them up.
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
Treat the audience with respect and maturity, and have a certain faith in them to catch up.
You want the audience to be uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that you don't bore the audience.
You have to keep surprising your audience.
Don't limit your audience.
We're so afraid to lose the audience. Let the audience go.
I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.
