The socialite is becoming more important in a luxury brand’s marketing strategy as she pulls in the ‘right kind of crowd.’
You don’t know what a rough crowd is. If all I have to do is go make people laugh, that’s nothing. Let me tell you what a tough crowd is. A tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pat your house payment. That’s a tough crowd.
I don’t really pay attention to the guy I outwork for the rebound, it’s really just hearing the crowd just be like, ‘Ohhhhh.’ They just get frustrated. That’s a good feeling.
I am strangely attracted to the hooligan crowd. I find them actually less dangerous than some of the people I work with now in Hollywood.
I trained for the drums for about two weeks, and then rocking out in front of an entire crowd was sort of like a dream come true. And now, Guitar Hero, I can’t do that anymore. It’s nothing like doing it on stage. I kinda wish I had a fake band, and we could go on tour.
The crowd is just as important as the group. It takes everything to make it work.
I guess because we’re essentially a two-man band, we’re attracting Wham’s crowd. But Wham! are more of a businessman’s band.
On my US tour maybe three out of 30 shows there was an Elvis impersonator in the crowd but that’s it. I usually get younger fans, and those that come that are of an older generation end up walking out because it’s too loud.
When I’m playing, I play what I want, but I make sure that the crowd is going to love it at the same time. It’s like a balancing act, a mix of two, a perfect circle… if you do it right.
I go to a lot of rap shows and sometimes take what they do from a performer’s aspect, how they interact with the crowd. I always have a DJ with me on the road, as well as some dancers.
My publisher’s been shipping me to comic-cons, and it seems that my readership overlaps perfectly with the comic-con crowd.
I first came on the scene during the Johnson years and that crowd was out all the time enjoying themselves. Nixon wasn’t particularly social but a lot of the people in his administration were.
All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga’s meat dress.
Witnessing the crowd come to their feet mid-match, that’s the ultimate sign of respect.
The God-given ability that you’re given to use, it speaks as much about who and what I was and was around, and the crowd of people that I chose to live my life with, as it does about me.
Never follow the crowd.
I love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I’m not out here to be a celebrity.
Some guys lock up when they hear the crowd. I feel the energy and take it with me into the fight. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and know to use that energy.
I thought that our first New York Comic Con for ‘Jessica Jones’ was epic because we had a pretty major reaction from the crowd after showing our first episode!
If you use Facebook – as I do – Facebook in all likelihood has a unique digital file of your face, one that can be as accurate as a fingerprint and that can be used to identify you in a photo of a large crowd.
Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.
I collect art, and I drink wine… things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
It’s fun, and a laugh for you… you can boo me and feel happy about yourself because you’re part of the crowd that did that. But deep down there were people in that crowd booing me because of my Aboriginality.
I played shows in front of like 25, 50 people, and it’s a lot harder to do your thing in front of a crowd that’s small.
Increased government spending can provide a temporary stimulus to demand and output but in the longer run higher levels of government spending crowd out private investment or require higher taxes that weaken growth by reducing incentives to save, invest, innovate, and work.
I would say that if you don’t feel like talking to the crowd something is wrong and if you force yourself to talk to them things will happen and to that extent things aren’t choreographed.
I love when people say ‘Imitation Game’ is such a crowd pleaser.
If you start badly, and the crowd get on your case, there is no way back. But if you start well and your confidence is high all that booing becomes music to your ears.
When you’re surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you’re by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don’t feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you’re really alone.
I feel like it’s harder to perform in front of a smaller crowd sometimes still than it is a larger crowd.
I could hear from the crowd some monkey noises, and this went on for about 25 minutes. Every time I touched the ball, I could hear the crowd. I said to myself, ‘In this kind of environment, in this situation, I don’t want to play football anymore.’
I was an immigrant when I came, and one of my biggest things was I really wanted to fit in. I didn’t want to be, ‘Oh, look at that guy;’ I wanted to be part of the crowd. Which is a weird thing, because the more successful I got, the more out of the crowd I became.
Club DJs don’t talk to the crowd.
I was never part of the crowd.
I’ve been to the White House and had Hilary Clinton push through the crowd to come and meet me. Chelsea Clinton, too.
I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.
I was a litigation lawyer, following the crowd off the proverbial cliff, when I pressed the pause button.
I was a part of the largest WrestleMania ever, so I know how to feed off the energy from the crowd in my fights.
Why is it that English, drama and music teachers are most often recalled as our mentors and inspirations? Maybe because artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
I started writing stories in sixth grade. But writing wasn’t cool, like being good at sports, or being part of the in crowd, or winning fights on the playground.
Normally, the same strange impulse which brings a crowd to an accident is present in the reaction to a concert in which something goes wrong.
Stunts are my favourite – I love it: the feeling, the adrenaline when all the cameras are rolling and everyone is watching and crowd round.
If I’m out shopping, in Topshop or wherever, I’m never spotted. In fact, I’m usually asked if I have a student card. No-one seems to notice me, they’re oblivious to who I am even in Scotland, and I’m very happy to be able to blend in with the crowd.
A poll finds the average opinion of a group. It takes the temperature of a crowd. A swarm focuses a group together, in real time, and has them work together as a system to answer a question instead.
Some players out there don’t really interact with the crowd – they’re really serious – but I think it’s part of my personality as well. I go out there, and I like to entertain. I like to put on a bit of a show.
During any performance, I love to connect with the crowd and hope fans leave my show feeling happy.
The film-watching crowd are mainly youngsters who see fashion on TV, in Hindi films, and in magazines.
When you see your father playing in the first division, and you see players like Ronaldo with the crowd singing their names, you want that.
When we got to the hotel, the Hawaiian Village, there were 500 screaming women there. The police were trying to keep the crowd back. It was very dangerous.
When I was 8 years old I became a mute and was a mute until I was 13, and I thought of my whole body as an ear, so I can go into a crowd and sit still and absorb all sound. That talent or ability has lasted and served me until today.
Mohammed Taheri-Azar, a naturalized U.S. citizen hailing from Iran, crashed his SUV into a crowd at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2006, injuring nine people.
You can’t be afraid to make errors! You can’t be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.
The Irish crowd and the humour, they really get it. Them riffing with ‘The Room’ makes the film watchable for me.
Playing a room, it’s a real dictator-type situation – you can really move the crowd the way you want to. In a festival, there’s a sea of people, and it’s harder to lock in on any one group.
The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.
The desert has its holiness of silence, the crowd its holiness of conversation.
Back in the day, when the D.J. would be playing a record, I’d be on the mic trying to hype up the crowd. So once Public Enemy became a rap group, I decided that that’s the role that I wanted to take on. I wanted to be the one that was hyping, because I’ve always been good at it. I can hype up any crowd.
