Like I always tell people, I don't pander to any audience, but you have to play to your audience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't pander to your audience. You might in the short term, but ultimately you can't hoodwink them, either.
It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.
I was hired by the 'Tom Joyner Morning Show' to do commentary that makes people think. I want my audience to feel like they are learning and not being pandered to.
On one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to the thing I think I need to say.
But I got an audience that knows what I do. They usually show up, so I usually do pretty good.
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.
People always say, 'Who is your audience?' and I could never put a finger on it - and I wouldn't want to put a finger on it.
I don't have the ability to find a middle ground with my audiences, and I know this too well.
You either entertain an audience or you don't.
