On television, it's all just shiny, successful people, and so I feel somebody has to wave a flag for the ordinary people who are not quite sure that they are getting it right.

You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.

For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.

I wanted this to have as wide an audience as possible. I didn't want to get an X rating, because in my opinion once that happens you X-out everyone else.

I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.

But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It's great to get that kind of feedback.

People always say, 'Who is your audience?' and I could never put a finger on it - and I wouldn't want to put a finger on it.

I love performing in front of an audience. I like the questions; I like controversy.

You want the audience to be uncomfortable.

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.
