Quote

I try to read the audience, see what they're in the mood for.

You've got to listen to your guests.

I consider each performance to be an intimate conversation between me and the audience members.

The perception of the audience is the interesting part. If the audience doesn't hear what is going on, is it going on or not?

Dialogue means debates and everyone's point of view.

We try to connect with the audience as much as we can. We feel the energy from the audience, and it gives us so much joy and inspiration.

I'm a fan of meeting readers face to face, at reader events, where we're able to sit down and take some time to talk.

I think with any challenge or any matchup, I can have my own personal feelings of what I want, but it really all depends on our audience. Our job is to give them the best entertainment that we feel is right. If it's something that they want to see, they'll be loud and vocal about it, and we'll do it.

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 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.
