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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 always like to have faith that an audience will suspend their disbelief, if you present it to them in the right way. I find it peculiar when people scoff at one bold idea, and yet they'll then turn over and watch a man travel through time in a police phone box. I think it's just how you present the idea.
I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.
You can make an audience see nearly anything, if you yourself believe in it.
You have to keep surprising your audience.
Treat the audience with respect and maturity, and have a certain faith in them to catch up.
If you start trying to communicate ideas, I think you don't allow the audience to see themselves.
Like I always tell people, I don't pander to any audience, but you have to play to your audience.
You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too.
