The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel like what I owe my audience is what I'm most passionate about.
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
I realized the only thing I owed my audience was my own judgment and my own best effort.
You have to understand that you are not making the film for yourself; you're making it for the audience. If I am asking my audiences to buy tickets, I owe them the worth of their money, and I owe them entertainment.
For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven't quite managed that yet.
You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.
I have to satisfy my audience.
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 feel a big obligation to the audience, almost in a moral sense, to say something useful. If I'm going to spend a year of my life on these things, I want something that I feel that strongly about.
