Every crowd has a silver lining. (Conway Tim)
Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience. (Conway Tim)
Many audiences all over the world will answer positively from their own experience that they have seen the face of the invisible through an experience on the stage that transcended their experience in life. They will maintain that Oedipus or Berenice or Hamlet or The Three Sisters performed with beauty and with love fires the spirit and gives them a reminder that daily drabness is not necessarily all. (Conway Tim)
It is because the public are a mass -- inert, obtuse, and passive -- that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are -- and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence. (Conway Tim)

We respond to a drama to that extent to which it corresponds to our dream life. (Conway Tim)
My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind; and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them. If only for this reason I regard the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone. (Conway Tim)
I never failed to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away. (Conway Tim)
The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful. (Conway Tim)
Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners. (Conway Tim)
Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences. (Conway Tim)

An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark -- that is critical genius. (Conway Tim)
Being in front of all the people, waiting for it to come up, and waiting to see the audience, my heart was just pumping out of my chest (Conway Tim)
We were hoping that the audience was going to be happy about it and not like, 'What they are doing?' ... So when we got a good response, we were really excited. This is my favorite year so far. (Conway Tim)
I prefer that for my own satisfaction over radio, there's no audience. TV, there's no audience. I need the response of the audience, even if it's a silent response. (Conway Tim)
Just anything where I can work in front of an audience. So I prefer a circus, a medicine show, vaudeville, burlesque. (Conway Tim)
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial. (Conway Tim)

In terms of the black female audience, usually if you're true to that character but more so in your body of work if you've proven that you love your sisters and you proven you will come back home like in 42.4% they'll give you a pass when you jump ship. I hear it all the time. (Conway Tim)

I'm doing 5000 seat theaters and audiences are going nuts, it's fantastic and it makes me very happy. I'm dirty, but not like this; I just do comedy that I find funny. I'm working on a new tv show for cable and it's not set up yet. (Conway Tim)
I don't want to be able to see the audience. (Conway Tim)
Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain. (Conway Tim)
