I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy. (Taylor Paul)
Perfection is intensely annoying. Audiences were ready for a character who didn't obey the usual pieties of modern life. (Taylor Paul)
An audience would come having been fed something about how to react, and where you'd be getting tons of laughs at the preview, the next night there'd be dead silence because they'd been told that the piece isn't funny. (Taylor Paul)
I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there. (Taylor Paul)
Cable has the balls to do what they want to do, the balls to tell the stories that need to be told. They don't have to worry about audiences, because they already have their viewership. (Taylor Paul)
I want that to challenge the audience. (Taylor Paul)
What I liked about the story is that it throws up all these questions. The movie teases the audience. 'Is she having an affair?' (Taylor Paul)
I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience. (Taylor Paul)
After the second call-back and third audition, I knew I had gotten the part. I went back to St. Louis and then back to Atlanta to drop off my stuff before I flew to Toronto to start filming. (Taylor Paul)
They're not thinking of how it's going to please a mass audience, ... They're really writing it for themselves, and trusting there's an audience out there for what they have to say. Whenever you make a film, there's always compromises you have to make just to get it made, but you really have to ask yourself, 'How much am I willing to compromise to get it up on screen?' and at what point do the compromises mean that you're not really making the movie you wanted to make. (Taylor Paul)
“We've maintained a core of viewers who have been with us from the start. A core is what most politicians depend on for their success, so we sort of fell into that.” (Taylor Paul)
“Part of the reason I did this is I love interacting with the audience and it's live, and I love to see people, go places and interact with people, ... In doing movies, you're sort of on a set, doing scenes, but there is a big part about getting up in front of a crowd and interacting that I really enjoy and haven't done in a long time.” (Taylor Paul)
“I started going with my friend to a bar in New Orleans, ... I met a bunch of comics down there and I sort of emceed a show for the comics and I would improvise with the audience and that went over really well, so I did another one last year ... in Chicago ... and that also went really well, so I kind of decided to do one more starting in Los Angeles and heading to Chicago and out West and do that for 30 days and 30 nights.” (Taylor Paul)
“If you're sitting in the audience, you probably can't see the preparation and work that goes into creating a great scene or a great part, but I can assure you that a good film depends on lot of different things falling perfectly into place.” (Taylor Paul)
“I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.” (Taylor Paul)
“It's not something that Lex planned or that the audience may have known or have hints about in the future like sometimes happens in episodic television. This is a complete surprise for everyone. And I literally didn't know who it was until I read the script. I actually thought it was between two different people until I read the scripts. And I was right, this person was one of those two people, but I didn't know for sure.” (Taylor Paul)
“We're finally going to get to what I believe the audience wanted the show to be. And everything up to this point has just been building.” (Taylor Paul)
“So from that standpoint, it didn't seem weird to me at all. I think it's interesting and obviously audiences do, too ... I think there is a sort of emptiness in our look at life in general lately, and think this is a way to explore that.” (Taylor Paul)
I kept getting asked to sing places, but I didn't have any material. I didn't want to do some kind of cabaret revue, and I wasn't comfortable talking to the audience. I prefer to have a character in a world set by the conceit of a theater piece. (Taylor Paul)
“They've kind of surrounded him by some old friends of the audience, ... so that the audience will feel secure and they can concentrate on Alfred.” (Taylor Paul)
I wanted this to have as wide an audience as possible. I didn't want to get an X rating, because in my opinion once that happens you X-out everyone else. (Taylor Paul)
