If you get good ratings, they'll cover you even if you have nothing to say.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That test should not be about ratings. What should weigh is the knowledge that a public broadcaster delivers programmes that matter.
We can't control what the ratings will be. It's like, if you're going to go skiing, do you hope you'll have a good day of skiing? Yes. Do you hope you won't break your leg? Yes.
When you turn professional, you become an entertainer, and like every other entertainer, you don't want to get a bad review.
I think people make way too much of ratings.
If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.
But I got an audience that knows what I do. They usually show up, so I usually do pretty good.
But you can't really know your audiences so well.
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
If I have any audience, they can know that anything I am in, I would go see, with the expectation of being really satisfied.
