“Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.” — Van Morrison Quote

Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

I always record far more than I can use. There's probably twice as much recorded as comes out.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

I would love to be a guest on a talk show or a panel that shows women who have been on reality shows who've had success, to prove to audiences that you don't have to be a fool to become successful.

Our function as playwrights to some extent is to make audiences see with their ears, because films make us see with our eyes much better.

It's actually kind of cool that women have taken to me. Because now I have a whole different demographic when it comes to the audiences. I have women who come out and support my movies, and that is a huge demographic for me, which is great because some actors don't have a female base at all.

Ronald Reagan knew audiences. It was a key element of his political genius. One of the things at which brilliant politicians are better than mediocre ones is smelling new public concerns over the horizon before they are picked up by polls - before the public even knows to call them 'issues' at all.
