I always thought from my knowledge of London theater and the audiences here that they would appreciate a truly genius piece of theatrical work.
For a woman who didn’t want to be an actress, who is too tall, lanky, shy, and who didn’t fit into a Hindi conventional heroine, I am overwhelmed that my audiences have accepted me in India and the world.
Like Tamil audiences, the Telugus, too, are welcoming of novelty. The fact that ‘Arjun Reddy,’ which had no regular songs, became such a big hit, says it all.
I learnt so much wit, really, from the Globe audiences. If you can make a circle, even in a proscenium theater, if you can get a circular energy going, so that all these people are involved with it and present, then there is something curious that happens with the imagination.
If we don’t challenge each other to use our platforms for better than our niches or what our quote-unquote brand is, what are we doing as influencers? If we can’t activate our audiences at the times it’s important or needed, then what do we have these platforms for?
I like to entertain all kinds of audiences with my films.
What we are doing in the United States is we have launched a television station for mainstream audiences, which means whether they are native Americans or people living from any part of the world.
I tell stories about people audiences might think they have nothing in common with, then they emotionally connect with them and find they’re not different at all.
Black audiences are hard. They always think they’re better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
‘Rudhramadevi’ is a film which falls into a very new genre. It is a historic and biographic genre movie. It should be called a bio epic. I am curious to see how the audiences accept the film.
My constant endeavour is to offer something new to the audience. Every movie I pick, including ‘Loafer’, which offers a strong mother sentiment, tries to give the audiences a sense of watching something different.
Theater will never, and never has, gotten audiences like film. But theater goes to work on society in a different and more subversive way.
I like live audiences, with real people – virtual reality is no substitute.
We have had to play some mighty tough audiences.
I think one of the things that was a huge surprise to everyone with ‘Silence of the Lambs’ was that that was an Oscar-winning horror movie. It struck such a nerve with audiences that it was a very particular, special experience.
I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.
I felt audiences are happier to take comedy people who play darker people because there’s a link between the psychosis of comedy and the psychosis of being a twisted character.
When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood.
I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time.
With it adult political audiences abandoned cinemas. In their place appeared a void. That previous political audience migrated to the seats in front of their TV.
We are thrilled to see that audiences across age groups, across India are loving ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ and have made our film a part of their Diwali plans.
We have anticipated releasing the trailer for ‘Do You Believe?’ to audiences, as so many have been looking forward to this project as the follow up release to ‘God’s Not Dead.’
We honestly cannot hear sometimes because the audiences are so loud.
The audiences in the U.K. like me more than in America.
Many theaters are tackling the multifaceted work of black writers – established and emerging. Now the next step is for them to bring in audiences of color and continue to go out to our community and create a continuous connection that extends beyond the one black show in the season.
My readers and my audiences have turned into my followers. They are more than interested in what I have to say in the subjects of sales, loyalty, attitude, networking, business social media, and becoming a trusted advisor.
I feel it’s my duty, my job, now to allow people to hear the dance to different genres of music, to ensure audiences have the chance to listen to tap dancing up against all these other styles.
Different authors write different ways, have different relationships with their audiences, and those are all legitimate.
Everything’s always about page-turning, right? What’s next? So, if you create questions for audiences, then they’ll want to know the answer. Or they begin to formulate possible outcomes. That’s the game we play when we’re hearing a story unfold. That’s part of what sucks us into a movie.
If the networks can get audiences to tolerate pop-up promos by the dozens, maybe they’ll start selling pop-up commercials, too.
I continue to write songs that are topically related to social, political and economic issues of our time, but I also recognize that onstage, I have a lot of fun and audiences have a lot of fun, so I’m trying to package the messages in music and sounds that are fun to perform and fun to listen to.
I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show.
I think Japanese audiences are much more attentive than a London audience.
The world is changing so quickly, and actors now have this huge platform of social media to interact with their audiences, but I choose not to have a social media footprint. I’m old-school like that.
I don’t make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
I would never inflict my bassoon on anybody really other than the long suffering audiences that come to the concerts of The Really Terrible Orchestra; which actually is really terrible.
I want to show audiences I can act.
It’s a great privilege and a highlight for choir and orchestra members to perform for audiences in live concerts.
