If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.

I think audiences are quite comfortable watching something coming into being.

Nowadays the audience has changed. No one can anticipate the 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 think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show.

I think of the audience the way I would think of another person: You meet someone, then you take it from there; you see what's interesting to both of you.

Each audience is different.

I'm looking for the truth. The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves.

The music and everything we're doing on the stage and on television backs itself up. If that's what gets people's curiosity going or brings their attention to us, that's fine.

I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. The key is creating scenarios that people can relate to.
