Success listens only to applause. To all else it is deaf.

I need the applause.

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.

We should welcome applause whenever it comes.

Sometimes I wish that applause would come just a bit later, when it is so beautifully hushed that I feel like holding my breath in the silence of the end.

There's nothing nicer than getting a round of applause for turning up for work. It's amazing! You start work, and people clap. Do you know what I mean? And then they stand up and clap at the end.

Applause, it's very nice, of course. But when you're giving, and creating, and then there is the silence of everyone sitting there, listening, waiting, that is great.

All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us!

The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight.

There is nothing like the high of being on stage and reaping applause, especially for emotionally needy people like me!
