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.
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.
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.
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.
The feedback we get from users is very positive, but the businesses are very hateful towards us.
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.
If you don’t get feedback from your performers and your audience, you’re going to be working in a vacuum.
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.
