Most of the big money people don't know what would interest an audience if you did it. They only know what interested the audience last time.

Audiences are audiences.

You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place.

Audiences are very willing to be taken somewhere, and to ask an audience beforehand what it wants is probably, I think, a mistake. Much better you should tell them what you want and hope they agree with it.

The audience includes subscribers, so you have to be careful.

I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do.

I don't want to admit it, but I do enjoy the feedback from the audience. It's instant feedback. It's like, you could do a movie, shoot it for a year, wait six months, it comes out and you gotta do three weeks of marketing. Three weeks of that, and everyone goes, 'It sucks.'

I'm trying to sell every audience something; that something is me.

The public's perception of your show is what it is, and you don't get to complain how people perceive your show or talk about it.

I never have an intended audience. I just write, you know.
