“Applause is an instinctive, unconscious act expressing the sympathy between actors and audience. Just as our art demands more instinct than intellect in its exercise, so we demand of those who watch us an apppreciation of the simple unconscious kind which finds an outlet in clapping rather than the cold intellectual approval which would self-consciously think applause derogatory. I have yet to meet the actor who was sincere in saying that he disliked applause.” ThinkingKindArtSelfActorsSimpleWatchesAudienceColdExerciseDemandIntellectualTheaterInstinctIntellectUnconsciousSincereApprovalOutletsApplauseClappingDerogatoryActors And Audience Book:The Story of My Life: Recollections and Reflections Source: The Story of My Life: Recollections and Reflections
“I think it's really important, when you're redefining a character [ Spider-Man], for the audience to experience things that they haven't experienced, from the ground up.

“We see films all the time, whether they have access to all kinds of intellectual property or artifacts, and the one thing that they don't get is story.

“There's this belief that some things can be taken seriously in an intellectual way, while some things are only entertainment or only a commodity. Or there's some kind of critical consensus that some things are "good," and some things are garbage, throwaway culture. And I think the difference between them, in a lot of ways, is actually much less than people think. Especially when you get down to how they affect the audience.” PeopleThinkingWayKindCultureBeliefDifferencesAudienceTakenIntellectualEntertainmentCriticalCommodityGarbageConsensus Author:Chuck Klosterman
