“You know, what's popular? Okay, vampires are very popular. Let me make my vampire movie. I'm not saying you can't make a vampire movie. But if you're going to do one do something crazy. I mean don't just get a bunch of, like I said, models and make them into vampires so you'll get an audience. You know maybe get some ugly vampires for a change.” IfsKnowsMeanSaidAudienceCrazyModelsOkayLet MeUglyBunchVampireVery PopularVampire Movie Author:Billy Bob Thornton
“Poets are political, they have to be reflections of their times [because] they're living in their times... Poetry is political in that it's standing in opposition to fascism. Good poetry asks a bunch of questions and asks the audience to interact with themselves or see themselves in it; maybe you like it or you don't like it. But the fascist sort of stuff plays on your fears and tells you to jump on the party line and gives some simple excuses - blame this person.” GivingPersonsPlayPoliticalAsksStuffLinesSimplePartyAudiencePoetReflectionStandingBlameExcuseBunchOppositionPoetry IsFascismFascistsYou Like ItGood PoetryTime Poetry Author:John Cusack
“The experience of going to a theater and seeing a movie with a lot of people is still part of the transformational power of the film, and it's equivalent to the old shaman telling a story by the campfire to a bunch of people. That is a remarkable thing, if you scream and everyone else in the audience screams, you realize that your fears are not just within yourself, they're in other people as well, and that's strangely releasing.” PeopleIfsWellsStillsStoriesFilmRealizingAudienceSeeingTheaterBunchRemarkableScreamCampfire Author:Wes Craven
“It's nice to know that if you've worked really hard at something, it gets recognised with a tick in the success column - however you define that, be it making a bunch of dough, which the actors never see much of, or whether it's a piece that's enlightening or stays with the audience maybe six, seven or even eight or 10 years later.” IfsKnowsYearsHardActorsAudiencePiecesNiceSixSevenEightBunchEnlighteningColumnsTickDough Author:Brendan Fraser
“Larry and I, and a bunch of our colleagues, were sitting on great stories that needed to get out to an audience in one way, shape or form. We've both produced comics in the past, and audio dramas seemed like a similarly interesting option, the other side of the coin. As we've continued with the project, the format has become a vital way for us to tell our stories.” WayStoriesPastFormSidesInterestingAudienceNeededDramaShapesProjectsSittingBunchOne WayColleaguesCoinsFormatLarryAudio Author:Glenn McQuaid
