Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.
George Carlin
God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
Voltaire
Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.
Mae West
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.
Dale Carnegie
Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.
Dale Carnegie
When you're singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It's happening.
Taylor Swift
Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions.
Rick Santorum
An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.
Gertrude Stein
I love hearing my audience breathe.
Adele
What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Lady Gaga
The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.
Lenny Bruce
If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.
Tallulah Bankhead
I'm sure there's going to be some material from This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. I usually use that song to just introduce myself to the audience, although the patter in between the song is always different.
Harvey Fierstein
What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change.
Harvey Fierstein
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball
There are some who speak well and write badly. For the place and the audience warm them, and draw from their minds more than they think of without that warmth.
Blaise Pascal
Instinct taught me 20 years ago to pace a song or a concert performance. That translates into pacing a story, pleasing a reading audience.
Jimmy Buffett
When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?
Quentin Crisp
You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before.
Meryl Streep
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
Alfred Hitchcock
