“I tell my staff, we're riding a tour bus around, and we're going to stop and look at some weird stuff - but we're taking our viewers around safely. They're just looking out the window at it. I'm trying to create a sense of comfort for my center audience.” TryingLooksLiteratureStuffAudienceComfortWindowBusRidingStaffViewersWeird Stuff Author:Chris Matthews

“I like confounding expectations. I can expand what it is I am able to do, and hopefully get to do more weird, interesting projects like this. There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone. And how the audience perceives that... It's out of my hands. And I don't get that frustrated by it, because I'm on to the next thing at that point.” WantI CanHandsAbleNextStuffInterestingAudienceComedyComfortProjectsExpectationsHopefullyPerceiveZoneFrustratedComfort ZoneConfounding Author:Patton Oswalt
“Modernism had two great wishes. It wanted its audience to be led toward a recognition of the social reality of the sign (away from the comforts of narrative and illusionism, was the claim); but equally it dreamed of turning the sign back to a bedrock of World/Nature/Sensation/Subjectivity which the to and fro of capitalism had all but destroyed.” WorldTwoRealityWantedWishSocialAudienceComfortCapitalismClaimsDestroyedRecognitionNarrativeSensationsModernismSubjectivityBedrock Author:T.

“I found a lot of comfort in the fact that 30-odd people have been companions before me. I think that when there are so many people contributing so many things to the show, all you can do is make it your own. You can't try to emulate anyone, because who would you pick? The companions are very much the everyman, and the audience watches the story through their eyes, so they could be the person next door. And everybody's different.” PeopleThinkingTryingDifferentEyeAudienceComfortCompanionEveryman Author:Freema Agyeman
“President Reagan was a master communicator. In this particular speech he did a brilliant job moving between the stately role of U.S. President and a national eulogist. The pain of the event was etched on his face. In 4 short minutes, he addressed five different audiences. He spoke to the collective mourners, families of the fallen, NASA employees, school children, and even took a poke at Russia. He communicated comfort and patriotism within a very short timeframe. That's not easy to do.” ChildrenDifferentSchoolPainMovingEasyPresidentAudienceComfortBrilliantFallenEmployeeNasaPokePresident Reagan Author:Nancy Duarte
