We respond to a drama to that extent to which it corresponds to our dream life. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
I never failed to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners. (Taylor Paul)
Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences. (Taylor Paul)
To have great poets, there must be great audiences too. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
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 (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
Just anything where I can work in front of an audience. So I prefer a circus, a medicine show, vaudeville, burlesque. (Taylor Paul)
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial. (Taylor Paul)
That certainly taught me a lesson. I try to be gracious and kind to anyone who asks for an autograph. (Taylor Paul)
I knew the audience that would come to see this would be adults and kids and the older, wrinkled kids will love this movie too. (Taylor Paul)
In one night, we're going to reach an audience larger than 'Titanic' did in months. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
25, 30 years ago, that meant something, they were making some money. And they were doing all sorts of comedy, screaming at the audience, basically crowd control. And then there was the whole urban comedy scene. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
I don't want to be able to see the audience. (Taylor Paul)
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. (Taylor Paul)
