I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music.

I like to change characters and then slowly I believe the audience treat me as like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.

I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it but they're happy if they do get it.

What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change.

You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether he's a doctor an actor a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character then your audience will believe you.

Can you design a Rorschach test that's going to make everyone feel something every time - and that looks like a Rorschach test? It's easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident.

I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.

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.

In day-to-day commerce television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

The best audience is intelligent well-educated and a little drunk.

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.

I don't know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It's more than talent and beauty. Maybe it's the audience seeing itself in you.
