Everybody goes through a stage where you have it. And, all of a sudden, you don't have it anymore. You get older and the audience gets younger. Bobby Vinton

I reserve the right to tell shaggy dog stories or even common jokes as part of what I'm doing. I don't give a damn if half the audience walks out.
David Antin

Listen to advice. You don't know how many writer's conferences I've taught at where at least half the audience fights all the conventions of the field. Jane Haddam
I'm not against asking the audience to work, but I think what you have now is a sort of gratuitous deconstruction as a result of a fashion of literary deconstructionism indicating that there are no meanings. Jonathan Miller

An audience is going to be able to find a little bit of Dorothy in themselves and relate to this woman.: roles like Dorothy Day are so rare in Hollywood. Moira Kelly
