“There was no audience for my books. The Indians didn't regard me as an Indian and North Americans couldn't conceive of me of a North American writer, not being white and brought up on wheat germ.

“The truth is, the older you get, the less variety of parts you are offered. If you're a star and you've spent most of your career being able to take your pick of the litter, you notice when the offers start to diminish. You're too old to play leads, so you're offered the supporting role - but many stars don't want to make that transition. They see it as a sign of symbolic impotence. And that the audience will no longer regard them as a star. I love acting, and I'm not going to determine what I do based on what I fear other people might think. I do what I want to do.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantPlayMightAbleStarsActingCareersRolesAudienceTruth IsOffersPicksRegardDetermineVarietyTransitionDiminishSymbolicImpotenceSupporting Roles Author:Dustin Hoffman
“It's to a writer's advantage to contain within himself elements of each sex, or any sex. It's to his advantage because it makes him able to write from the female point of view as well as the male. In some cases, of course, you will find some homosexual writers who can only write from a f - - -'s point of view. But I don't regard myself as a f - - -! Some people may. Also audiences wanted escapism. They don't like too much protest or criticism of their way of life.” PeopleWayWritingWellsMayAbleWantedCoursesSexViewsCasesAudienceToo MuchElementsAdvantageFemaleCriticismRegardMalesPoint Of ViewProtestHomosexualEscapism Author:Tennessee Williams
“You have more of a responsibility to make the audience laugh. In comedy, we do have to say, "All right, it's been two minutes in the film. We need another laugh here." With drama, there's no pressure in that regard. It's a different kind of pressure, but it's not like we need to make someone laugh.” NeedsKindTwoDifferentFilmResponsibilityAudienceLaughingComedyMinutesDramaPressureRegardDifferent KindsNo PressureMake Someone Laugh Author:Jonah Hill

“But know this: as far as a music culture goes, EDM is the one who will accept the kids on the outliers, the ones who get bullied, the ones who feel like they may not quite fit in. This community is exceptional in its ability to bond all types together, and I am not exaggerating when I say it saves lives. Our audience is intelligent and kind, discriminating only in regards to which sound they like best.

“In the vast majority of movies, everything is done for the audience. We are cued to laugh or cry, be frightened or relieved; Hitchcock called the movies a machine for causing emotions in the audience. Bresson (and Ozu) take a different approach. They regard, and ask us to regard along with them, and to arrive at conclusions about their characters that are our own. This is the cinema of empathy.” DifferentDoneCharacterAsksEmotionAudienceLaughingCryApproachEmpathyMachinesRegardMajorityConclusionCinemaFrightenedRelievedHitchcockDifferent Approach Book:The Great Movies II Source: The Great Movies II
