“The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience.” PeopleKnowsDoeTwoIdeasCountrySometimesSongThreeSoundAudienceKnow HowWrittenRocksStrangePopsContemporaryAppealsThemeFascinatedRock Music Author:Ryan Adams

“I personally can watch an eight-hour documentary on Woody Allen because I'm fascinated by him. But, an audience can't really sit through more than two and a half hours on any movie.

“Guys who are larger than life and theatrical and deliciously unpredictable - they're far more interesting than the good guys most of the time. They have these psychological layers that an audience can really cling on to, become fascinated with, much more so than these true-blue, one-dimensional, square-jawed good guys.” GuyInterestingAudienceBluePsychologicalSquaresFascinatedLayersUnpredictableTheatricalGood GuyLarger Than Life Author:Ron Perlman
“I've always thought of characters like advent calendars. You have Christmas and you have all the little doors over the windows and every day you're allowed to open one more as it gets towards Christmas and you see more and more about what's inside that house.I remember as a kid being fascinated by that and I've always thought of my character as a little bit like that. I like to have secrets and slowly let those secrets out to the audience, sometimes never let them out, but let them see as you open the shutters, open and see a little bit more of a character.” LittlesSometimesCharacterKidsRememberHouseBitsSecretAudienceDoorsLittle BitWindowFascinatedCalendarsAdventShutters Author:Jeremy Irons
“The audience creates its own personality, I've noticed, in the first five minutes. They will either be generous, funny, silly, withholding, academic, analytical, grudging. And I'm fascinated with how that gets constructed, because it happens right away.” FirstsHappensAudienceFiveMinutesPersonalitySillyGenerousFascinatedAcademicFive MinutesWithholding Author:Laurie Anderson
