“Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.”
“Audiences will admire your character’s strength but connect with them through their weakness.”
“Audiences will get just as tired of people wrestling on a bed as they did of Tom Mix kissing his horse.”
“Audiences will see what they want to see. Some will come out, hopefully enjoying two hours of action. Some people will find themselves gravitating towards the emotional dilemma that the characters find themselves in. Other people will see that there is some layer of subversions to the storytelling aspect of poking a finger of judgment at certain governments to the idea of foreign invasion, others maybe false pretenses.”
“Audiences, as they get smaller, can intensify their relationship with the product, and so can the creative relationship with the people that you are serving. The good news is that, the more shows there are, the less the conglomerates have to gain by breaking the will of each individual creative.”
“Audiences, whether they're seeing a film or a reading or whatever it is, a concert, they decide very quickly what kind of show it is, and then they judge it. They judge the rest of the thing by whether it conforms to their rules for what a good symphony orchestra would be.”
“Audio is the only medium you can consume while you're multitasking.”
“Audio of interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...
"it's not surprising that in that first group I worked with over 20 years ago I had 2 accounts of Jimmy Savile being an abuser where I did support some people to go to the police but it was seen as something impossible to consider at the time."
"We have improved a lot as a society in the last 20 years in accepting the reality of abuse, even though it's still so hard for us."
"When we look at adults who were abused in childhood we find that nearly all of them had told somebody..."
"The culture of the police has changed dramatically but 20 years ago when even counselors and social workers didn't think the abuse could be so widespread the police were obviously part of that culture too. I mean it's hard to realise that in the 1980s there was a point where it was thought that there were only 486 children on the abuse register. Now the government accepts that 1 in 4 adults will have been abused at some point in their lives. That is a huge change."
"This is really different for any survivors listening now if a police officer doesn't listen sympathetically and offer a believing response then something has gone wrong because the police really do have this in their guidelines now."
- Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London”
“Audio of interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...
"No I haven't been in a ceremony but I've seen the marks on them, I've seen the terror they're in and I've seen how they were before such events happened and how they are when they speak about it, how consistent they are in other things they say, so that there has been no reason from a psychological point of view to doubt their capacity to give good evidence, but its the police who need to find the proper corroboration."
- Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London - talks about Private Eye magazine's suggestion that she "invented" the story published in the Express and that no abuse existed”
“Audio of interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...
"Savile was not only abusing all children with or without disabilities in group settings or in hospital settings, he was also invoking belief systems, doing rituals, making children believe that he had extra powers and that if they didn't obey him they would be published in an after life."
"There are special things in, especially, for example, Alistair Crowley that can be used to frighten children even more, but the use of cloaks, of making spells, of making threats, of threatening what will happen after death too is something that the 5 different people that spoke to me about Jimmy Savile said that he'd been part of."
- Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London”

“Auditioning for television shows - to find a guy who has a lot of experience as a laborer is a bit of an anomaly. We do exist. I know several other actors who have made their living, instead of a waitress job, framing houses or blacktopping roads.”
“Auditioning is a funny one. It's all about energy. If you walk into a room and the room feels off or the people feel off, that can set you off. If the room is very small. I know which casting directors I should go to, because the place is conducive to doing a good job and the people are conducive and I know the other ones aren't, in which case I send in a tape.”
“Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.”
“Auditioning is always so different for different things.”
“Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.”
“Auditioning is important, and I understand that. If there is somebody making a movie, if there is somebody manufacturing a movie, they want to look at the goods. I get it. I mean, I've been in that position.”
“Auditioning is the most terrifying thing Ive ever done. There must have been four or five of them where I completely froze up and walked out of the room. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.”
“Auditioning is the worst.”
“Auditions are great, and you definitely want to continue to make progress as an actor, you want to continue to see some advancement in your career. But when you get out there, you don't realize how many auditions you have to go on before you actually get work.”
“Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.”
“Auditions are like a gamble. Most likely you won't get the part, but if you don't go, you'll never know if you could've got it.”
“Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.”
“Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)”
“AUDLEY says that “when you see the devastating effect of mania and depression on your family over time, you realize that you have to get it under control.”

“Audrey Auld is a great singer songwriter. She holds a unique place in contemporary Americana/Roots music. I believe that this uniqueness is largely due to the fact that she is Australian. This affords her a totally different attitude as an artist than traditional American contributors to this genre. Audrey is one of the most honest original artists I know.”
“Audrey didn't understand Piper's obsession with Erik. Yes, he was insanely gorgeous, with dark hair and dark sexy eyes, but he gave off a dick vibe. Piper was such a sweet and funny girl, and Audrey really didn't think they would be good together. But apparently Erik Titov did it for Piper, and who was she to question it? She herself was in love with an ass-hat and lusting over a child. She was in no place to judge anyone on their lusty needs.”

“Audrey Hepburn's face was made for the camera.”
“Audrey Hepburn, as famous as she was, packed her own suitcases... I don’t know why that struck me, but it did. 'She has a servant’s heart,' I thought.”

“Audrey kept moving with practiced quickness, stepping over roots protruding over the trail and pushing ferns and branches out of her way. She kept a brisk pace, but Kaldar didn't mind. From his vantage point, he had an excellent view of her shapely butt. It was a butt that deserved some scrutiny.
"If you're waiting for my behind to do a trick, you're out of luck," Audrey called over her shoulder.
"How the hell did you even know?" Did she have eyes on the back of her head?
"Woman's intuition," she told him.
"Aha, so it wouldn't be the fact that I stumbled twice in the last minute?"
"Not at all.”

“Audrey turned to him, a sly little spark hiding in her eyes. "THe only man who gets to call me'love' would be waking up next to me after a very, very fun night.
Fun night. Oh yes.
"Guess what?" She leaned closer. "You will never be that man.”

“Audrey was a world champion complaint handler, and witnessing her at work was like witnessing Rembrandt paint or Michelangelo sculpt. When most people would lose their shit at some of the ridiculous crap guests tried blaming on hotel staff, Audrey was a consummate professional, and practically a magician.”

“Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.”

“Aufarbeitung! Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit! Wir Studenten des Seminars sahen uns als Avantgarde der Aufarbeitung. Wir rissen die Fenster auf, ließen die Luft herein, den Wind, der endlich den Staub aufwirbelte, den die Gesellschaft über die Furchtbarkeiten der Vergangenheit hatte sinken lassen. Wir sorgten dafür, daß man atmen und sehen konnte. Auch wir setzten nicht auf juristische Gelehrsamkeit. Daß verurteilt werden müsse, stand für uns fest. Ebenso fest stand für uns, daß es nur vordergründig um die Verurteilung dieses oder jenes KZ-Wächters und -Schergen ging. Die Generation, die sich der Wächter und Schergen bedient oder sie nicht gehindert oder sie nicht wenigstens ausgestoßen hatte, als sie sie nach 1945 hätte ausstoßen können, stand vor Gericht, und wir verurteilten sie in einem Verfahren der Aufarbeitung und Aufklärung zu Scham. (S.87)”
