Being on TV sucks. It's a lot of work. You memorize scr

Tim Ferriss
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.’

When I wrote ‘High Stakes,’ I followed the classical format. I wrote an outline first, then a first draft, then got feedback and rewrote and rewrote it. I’d never done that before.
Rick Famuyiwa
Most companies don’t have a good mechanism to give the CEO real, honest feedback.
Scott Weiss
Big ideas developed in a vacuum are doomed from the start. Feedback is the essential tool for building and growing a successful company.
Jay Samit
As enjoyable as it is when you’re just writing and getting feedback from family members, it’s 10 times more enjoyable, or 100 times more enjoyable, when you actually start getting paid for it, and people start reading your books, and once in a while you get a good review.
Arthur Slade
Television is a great medium for actors to connect with the audience. Especially on the fiction front, we can gauge and get instant feedback, which helps improve our skill sets over time.
Manobala
Your spouse, a sibling, a friend need to read your drafts. They have to be people unafraid to tell you what sucks. For early feedback, that’s more important than professional editorial skill. Most people know what sucks.
Douglas Brunt
Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.
Richard Simmons
My website inspired me to create my book club and provides me with a creative outlet where I can write about things that interest me. It’s a platform where I can present ideas or new ventures and get feedback straight from the people who mean the most to me.
Lauren Conrad
When you’re writing, you’re only a brain and some fingers, but drumming, you’re involving all four limbs, and you’re hearing stuff and you’re converting your ideas into physical motions, getting physical feedback from things you are touching – it’s pretty cool. It’s a really a nice contrast to writing.
Michael Azerrad
A stand-up comedian faces the audiences and gets their immediate feedback. I hide behind the comic strip, and unless people write to me, I don’t know what they think.
Stephan Pastis
I’m always thrilled when I get feedback from young people, particularly from ‘The New Normal,’ young gay people – when they say they want that when they grow up, that means a lot to me.
Andrew Rannells
I can grow as a leader only if I’m willing to accept feedback.
Jennifer Hyman
Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.
Bill Gates
I felt like a coach. I just wanted to do what I could a

I felt like a coach. I just wanted to do what I could as far as helping guys understand what was going to happen early and get the best feedback I could and be a great teammate.
Khalil Mack
Teachers support evaluations based on multiple measures: student growth, classroom observation and feedback from peers and parents.
Arne Duncan
There is nothing to compare with the instantaneous feedback a singer gets from the people sitting in front of him. That is where it all comes together – all the rehearsing and working to get everything just exactly right.
Andy Gibb
I’ll audition for something and then the feedback has been, ‘The director wants you, the creative people want you, but the studio is saying no.’ It’s depressing, but I understand. People are investing a lot of money and they want somewhat of a guarantee; they want someone who’s been on the cover of magazines.
Melanie Lynskey
When we were making ‘Arrested Development,’ it was the hardest thing I’d ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren’t getting feedback. The job wasn’t paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.
Mitchell Hurwitz
In the end, I do have a group of friends and teachers whose opinions I respect, and so I guess I just have to be content with their feedback.
James Franco
To have a director’s direct feedback is invaluable.
Masi Oka
But the best part about being actors and married to each other is that you can discuss work and take feedback from each other.
Gautam Rode
I ask my close friends to give me feedback.
Ali Fazal
A lot of people are really excited to see the continuation of Cory and Topanga and ‘Boy Meets World’. I was getting a lot of positive feedback, which I was really happy about.
Rowan Blanchard
I’ve done work wearing full cold-weather gear hanging off of scientific towers in the Antarctic and the Arctic. Having to actually do small, delicate tasks on scientific equipment while you have no dexterity or tactile feedback is something that’s very transferrable.
Christina Koch
On a personal level, I send out about 20 thank-you notes a day to staffers, on all levels. And every six weeks I have lunch with a group of a dozen or so employees, to get their perspective on the business, to address problems and to get feedback.
Douglas Conant
It takes guts to see me differently. Some casting directors come up with the excuse and they don’t see me differently. I just get the feedback from some that you are good looking. I find it very bizarre, what’s my look got to do with casting me in a certain character. Just cast me. I can change my look.
Dino Morea
I think one of the things about Donald Trump that’s interesting is he lives in a rarified atmosphere where it’s possible that he doesn’t get enough feedback, enough people rolling their eyes at him. It’s a danger more in show business than it is with wealth.
Penn Jillette
Since I tend to be pretty competitive and find that others on my team enjoy contests and team competitions, I thought a good way to improve feedback would be to create a way to reward the comments and ideas that actually change our company for the better.
John Rampton
Once people take ownership over the decision to receive feedback, they’re less defensive about it.
Adam Grant
There are major benefits to building a game once and improving it over a long period of time based on user feedback and behavior. It’s kind of depressing to have to build a game once, take all the user feedback, and then spend the next 3 years building another game.
Tim Sweeney
Anyone working at HootSuite will tell you that I don’t sugarcoat my opinions. I heavily encourage feedback and suggestions – partly because I’m blunt about offering the same in return.
Ryan Holmes
I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.
David Nail
You make decisions, take actions, affect the world, receive feedback from the world, incorporate it into yourself, then the updated ‘you’ makes more decisions, and so forth, ’round and ’round.
Douglas Hofstadter
I think my greatest virtue is that I have the courage to take tough decisions. As for my greatest fault, I guess I should be a little tougher. The feedback I get always is that I am not as tough and demanding as I should be.
Ajay Piramal
Anyone who generates opinion for a living is going to get plenty of feedback, positive or negative. Some people indeed don’t like the fact that I’m a woman with strong opinions. And if they disagree with me, they are quick to point out what my gender is. I chalk it up to being the nature of people.
Jemele Hill
I wrote my first 30 books as a teacher. I would read to my classes, and they’d give me feedback. I was trying to role model.
Eric Walters
As soon as I starting making YouTube videos, I received so much positive feedback from the online community and a demand for more content. As time went on, my filming schedule became more consistent, and it made sense to hire some help and upgrade my equipment.
Rosanna Pansino
In comedy, though, it’s good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.
Bobby Farrelly
In the ‘Angel’ days, all there was was a community that was like a chat room. If you were looking for feedback, you had to look for it.
J. August Richards
I have to experience the Nokia products. I’m a major contributor to the design and the quality of the devices. I have a lot of feedback to provide the teams on that. But also I have to carry competitive devices. You have to understand the competition.
Stephen Elop
Sometimes you’re not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I’ve written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.
Len Wein
In much of computer science, I can easily ‘auto-grade’ your work and give you an instant meaningful feedback. I can’t do this when it comes to the subtlety of human thought, language, poetry, philosophy.
Sebastian Thrun
It’s just trying to do the best job I can in these opportunities that I get to show what I can do, be consistent, have good feedback, be fast, at the same time not make mistakes.
Lando Norris
In some cultures, like Middle Eastern, Egyptian, or Asian cultures, people are often hesitant to give any negative feedback.
Rana el Kaliouby
I mean, making simulations of what you're going to buil

I mean, making simulations of what you’re going to build is tremendously useful if you can get feedback from them that will tell you where you’ve gone wrong and what you can do about it.
Christopher Alexander
There is a huge value in learning with instant feedback.
Anant Agarwal
The global climate is a complex interactive system, with all kinds of nonlinear feedback loops.
Alex Shoumatoff
In Sonic Youth, at the end of ‘Expressway to Yr. Skull,’ we’d tap on the backs of our guitars to get this low-level feedback, and if I leaned forward, and the guitar hung off my body, it would resonate differently.
Lee Ranaldo
If you go to a second-rate place, and you are first-rate, it is very difficult to do first-rate work because you do not get that critical feedback you need for first-rate work on a daily basis.
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
The feedback that I get from my association with Gomez is heartwarming. It is very difficult for me to take anything but a positive view of the Gomez phenomenon.
John Astin
We can collaborate with a Netscape employee or partner who’s halfway around the world. We can distribute information and software to customers and shareholders, and get their feedback.
Jim Barksdale
I’ve gotten nothing but warmth from the Black community and positive feedback.
Misty Copeland
Critics only make you stronger. You have to look at what they are saying as feedback. Sometimes the feedback helps, and other times, it’s just noise that can be a distraction.
Robert Kiyosaki
People want to know on an ongoing basis, ‘Am I doing right? Am I moving in the right direction? Do you think I’m progressing?’ Nobody’s going to wait for an annual cycle to get that feedback.
Pierre Nanterme
Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference.
Hugh Prather
I agree that my films have flopped, and I have been slammed for my nasal voice, my look, and my dialogue delivery. But every time I got a negative feedback, I went out of my way to work on it.
Himesh Reshammiya
Or like in the early 70’s when we had the reaction against acid rock and all the fuzz tone, and feedback, and the noise. And you had James Taylor and everyone went acoustic and that.
Lester Bangs
The Adia application has been co-created by the Adecco Group and the global technology leader, Infosys. It covers the full cycle of recruiting, matching, invoicing, and payrolling with state-of-the-art functionalities such as feedback and rating and geolocalization.
Alain Dehaze
When Europe dominated, there were no or few feedback loops. Or, to put it another way, there were few, if any, consequences for its behaviour towards the non-western world: relations were simply too unequal.
Martin Jacques
It’s the first time an exoskeleton has been controlled by brain activity and offered feedback to the patients. Doing a demonstration in a stadium is something very much outside our routine in robotics. It’s never been done before.
Miguel Nicolelis
I’ve had a lot of very positive feedback about those stories, and seem to have struck upon something that most people feel. I can also tap dance, and don’t know many other authors who can.
Paul Kane
No one reads my books until they’re finished because I don’t want feedback. It confuses me, and it changes things; if I get too much feedback, I get thrown off my path.
Zoe Foster Blake
At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.
Charles Best
I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback. With programming I could model the same policies and see the impact immediately. Technology is a far more efficient way to test.
Jack Dorsey
Readers have actually changed the way I’ve done things, changed the course of my career even, about four or five times. Just from reader feedback.
Debbie Macomber
I got so much negative feedback about my accent. People saying, ‘Yeah, you need to go to elocution lessons.’
Edith Bowman
If you Google some sites about the link between vaccines and autism, you can very quickly find that Google is repeating back to you your view about whether that link exists and not what scientists know, which is that there isn’t a link between vaccines and autism. It’s a feedback loop that’s invisible.
Eli Pariser
Because we make ourselves deaf to feedback, because we overestimate our abilities, because we become consumed with ourselves, we end up subjecting ourselves not just to the inevitable stumbles or difficulties of life but catastrophic, painful failures.
Ryan Holiday
A lot of the kids gave a lot of positive feedback about if I ever became a coach, they would love to play in our program. And I was very confident that we would be able to get the top-tier players to come in.
Penny Hardaway
By cultivating rich social networks, by cultivating weak ties, not just close ties but the weak ties, by becoming connectors and by connecting others so that they connect us, we create a world in which these self-amplifying feedback loops feed on top of each other.
Jason Silva
Making small talk about what someone is wearing is just another form of unsolicited feedback.
Sophia Amoruso
In the case of, like, Childish Gambino, he is someone who is a writer by trade, so he is very meticulous about how he writes his ideas. I don’t do this with a lot of artist, but he would give me a treatment that he wants to do, and I’ll go off that; then I’ll give him feedback and pitch him my ideas.
Hiro Murai
It’s important for an actor to feel like they’re really being watched and to receive feedback and encouragement about the aspects of what they’re doing that feels truthful – and also to raise awareness when they might be resorting to habits and tricks, which every actor has.
Bennett Miller
Since M.O.’s trunk shows will run during a brand’s market week, designers can get immediate feedback from our high-end customers to help better shape their buying and production decisions. This keeps our members happy and can improve each brand’s bottom line.
Aslaug Magnusdottir
I haven’t gotten a lot of feedback about, ‘Oh, you helped me in this way.’ But on social media, people are like, ‘Thank you for your positive posts,’ or ‘It’s fun to see you grow and your character. I feel like I’m growing with you.’
Taylour Paige
Discussion of politics and government almost totally ig

Discussion of politics and government almost totally ignores the concept of training people to update their opinions in response to new evidence – i.e adapt to feedback.
Dominic Cummings
I’m not a big fan of file sharing. I mean, I’ve done it quite a lot for other people, where they send me the file, I do it and send them back. You don’t get any back-and-forth and exchange and feedback when you do it that way.
Timothy B. Schmit
When you play a show or festival, people know what they’re getting; they want it. Then you’re thrown onto a show where people are watching TV in their houses, and whether they ask for it or not, we’re being played in front of them. There’s a lot of negative feedback.
Tyler Joseph
Institutions are better served by going direct to end users, establishing a channel for direct dialogue and feedback. It is a world of many to one, not one to many.
Richard Edelman
I still find it difficult to cope with the solitude of writing. I often crave the feedback of working with a team.
Carol Drinkwater
A lot of the values of millennials are shared by all of our generations. Who doesn’t want purpose, feedback and balance?
Julie Sweet
If my parents don’t like something, they tell me on my face. You get real feedback from them.
Gautam Rode
The audience is so important. Because there’s something that I might think is super funny, but if it’s just not getting the feedback, I have to let it go.
Ali Wong
If you get honest feedback and do nothing about it, then the feedback will stop.
Alan Mulally
People are going to think and take things how they’re going to take it, and I have no control over that, so it’s kind of like biding time until you get your feedback. So, it’s like, once the public can consume what you’re putting out there, then you know. Then you know hit, miss, in between.
Phil Anselmo
When we were unknown, you don’t get a lot of bad feedback. Now, we get people bad-mouthing us all the time, but it’s all part of the game.
Martie Maguire
Each medium has its own beauty and way of working. While television offers immense reach and long-running shows, films are shorter and they are presented differently. With theatre, it’s the thrill of instant feedback.
Gautam Rode
Comedy can be more difficult than drama. It requires more attention to timing. In the theater, you’re always dependent on the audience for the energy, but in comedy the feedback you get is more important. You can judge by the quickness and the length of the laugh just where you stand with the audience.
David Alan Basche
The feedback we get from users is very positive, but the businesses are very hateful towards us.
Peter Sunde
One of my passions is women in business and helping women to get ahead in business. For women, that feedback loop can be broken. Women won’t get as much feedback from male bosses as men will get. Therefore, they have to make an extra effort, whether that is unfortunate, good, bad, indifferent.
Sallie Krawcheck
If you don’t get feedback from your performers and your audience, you’re going to be working in a vacuum.
Peter Maxwell Davies
At a certain point, you try to avoid reading feedback or blogs because there’s always the risk of reading some sort of negative stuff that can be hard to hear.
Sara Ramirez
