Audiences Quotations | Page 3

There are so many pockets of places around the country where I play at tiny little towns, and the audiences in general there are so much more appreciative than big city audiences.

Kevin was very nice at the Q&A after the movie. He told the audience to go and get the book,

John and I are both very disturbed by audience members who don't conduct themselves well, regardless of which side they are on. But that is very rare. Most people seem thankful for the way and seriousness with which we engage the issue and our obvious respect for each other.

I think it has created an excitement for opera that will produce growing audiences. Nationally, it is important that operas have robust partners across the country to join in productions. That will mean Denver audiences will see some leading productions that have been produced in other places.

I think it's great, especially the timing, with it coming back this week. There's a portion of the audience that maybe saw it a few times but wasn't dedicated to it that might come back ... or there's a new audience that heard about the show pop-culture-wise, and now that it has the Emmy stamp of approval, may give it a shot.

I think it's fair to say we're trying to broaden our audience with some of these shows.

I think it's an incredibly bold and original show. And if only a small fraction of the loyal audience that's on Fox came to Showtime, it would be one of our highest-rated shows.

I think it's important within our season to bring to our audience the widest spectrum that we can.

It is a bit shocking no movie had done it. Still, the weekends have been pretty strong. I think we're getting a better idea of delivering what audiences want.

I think the audience was aware that even when it was farcical, there was the sense that at some level this was about real experience.

I was concerned initially. But when I saw it with an audience, I relaxed. Bottom line is, out of 600 test cards, only one mentioned it.

I think we're enormously pleased with it on all fronts. This show seemed to strike a chord with audiences and with the critics.

I think because I've been working in front of audiences for so many years, I'm able to take in the input, good or bad, and just say, 'This is the part I agree with that you're saying, and these are the parts I don't agree with.'

I think audiences sometimes mistakenly assume a quality performance comes from some great emotional disturbance rather than really intense concentration. Concentration and flow is what it's all about.

I think audiences, in times of trouble and good times, look for people on television who are basic, don't have airs, don't hype themselves.

I think audiences get too comfortable and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up.

I think its safe to say that Sony is going for the broadest possible audience you can imagine, ... For the year 2000, PlayStation has a pretty big window of opportunity. It is unclear at this point if there is any serious competition.

It has an extremely strong, hard-core audience. It has been marginalized as a sport of cable TV. It's never been an advertiser-friendly sport because you don't know how long a bout will go, and some advertisers are hesitant due to its perception of something of a blood sport. But I don't think anyone is going to lose money on this bout.

It has an extremely strong, hard-core audience, ... It has been marginalized as a sport of cable TV. It's never been an advertiser-friendly sport because you don't know how long a bout will go, and some advertisers are hesitant due to its perception of something of a blood sport.

It is an allegory. It is about things that have gone on in the past, things that are happening now and things that I am sure will happen in the future. I hope it works as a piece of entertainment and I hope audiences will talk about some of the ideas it discusses and the questions it asks.

It is because the public are a mass -- inert, obtuse, and passive -- that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are -- and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.

I think there's an essential problem in movies and TV that I think a lot of people experience now: Audiences are way more interested in the actors than the characters that they're playing. It's a strange thing.

I think there was a sense that the impact was being lost because the audience was so familiar with the form. You combine that with people's attention spans, which are clearly conditioned to be shorter now, and there's a need to vary the paradigm.

I think the resolution involved in the high-def, Blu-ray image demands we pay attention to every detail to a level we've never seen before. The audiences have to believe everything they're seeing. As viewers, we're all so experienced and so much smarter than we realize. With Blu-ray, there will be less tricking of the eye.

I think there's a complexity to it, but I think audiences are completely up for that.

Our films have the ability to tell global audiences who we are, and this is something the government should feel compelled to protect. My film, 'Bend it Like Beckham,' for example, would not have been made without the backing and support of the U.K. Film Council.

Our core business strategy is to create new opportunities for the consumer, ... what we¹re doing has never been done before. As studios and exhibitors search for ways to retain audiences frustrated with the theatre experience, we believe the competitive solution lies in increasing value for customers.

Our ultimate goal is a global market for films and filmed entertainment unimpeded by the artificialities of government policies, instead governed only by the tastes and demands of the audiences and our ability to meet those demands.

People who listen to our music get it, and the ones that don't -- well, it's not for them anyway, ... Our audience is perfect for what we're doing. We don't feel under-appreciated at all.

Part of the problem with existing linear advertising models, even in new media like online video, is the general lack of ability to make ads relevant and timely when rolled out to broad audiences. Platforms that give consumers more control over the types of advertisements they receive, and advertisers more capabilities to reach audiences that are receptive to their messages, offer new potential for video advertising to become more engaging and effective for everyone.

Mass TV audiences are quickly becoming a rarity, so events like the Super Bowl will always be important for advertisers. Live TV seems to be the new prime time, with DVR users far less likely to skip ads and record programs for later viewing.

Lime offers a uniquely targeted and passionate audience that represents the growing consumer trend toward wellness and sustainability. We are happy to partner with them on content distribution and customer acquisition for this unique audience.

We've been working on a little bit of everything to make Manny more of a complete fighter.

The acquisition of Radio 830 KMXE provides a new opportunity to bring play-by-play commentary and Angels game coverage to a large audience of Hispanic Major League Baseball fans. Once the transaction is complete the station's sports broadcast line-up will be expanded to a bilingual format, providing Hispanic sports enthusiasts with access to exciting regional, national and international sporting events. It will also provide an opportunity for advertisers to reach an audience with a buying power of more than $105 billion.

While the arena in which we operate has changed, the evening newscast still plays a vital role in the way Americans get their news. I think the audiences that the three (networks) get support the fact that this is something that is vital.

We were very fortunate that all the movies responded very, very well. Audiences like them and went to see them more than once.

We are born at the rise of the curtain and we die with its fall, and every night in the presence of our patrons we write our new creation, and every night it is blotted out forever; and of what use is it to say to audience or to critic, "Ah, but you should have seen me last Tuesday?

We're always into that. It breaks down the wall between the band and the audience. It's a dream come true for the people who get onstage, but also for the people who watch it because they're seeing somebody who is one of their own.

By combining IMAX 3D, Hollywood's best talent and the top minds of space exploration, this film will offer audiences of all ages an out-of-this-world experience that is both entertaining and educational.

We know Jodie Foster is a smart woman. But it's always tough for women to find leading roles in commercial Hollywood movies.

Movie audiences not only like her, but respect her.

We'll focus on Wal-Mart snafus and screw-ups because our audience believes they shed light on Wal-Mart's corporate ethics and culture.
