“The crowd may be influenced easily, largely because it is a crowd.” — Ivor Novello Quote

“The crowd may be influenced easily, largely because it is a crowd.”

“A couple of seats at a good picture house cost comparatively little but give a generous return in the shape of freshened minds and freedom from the worries that even the best regulated homes cannot always avoid.”

“A visit to a cinema is a little outing in itself. It breaks the monotony of an afternoon or evening; it gives a change from the surroundings of home, however pleasant.”

“When I'm in a hectic crowd of people, I don't feel great. I'm looking over my shoulder. I feel exposed.”

“I don't start my show at 200%. I like to go in slow, warm up the crowd, and bring them along with me. To hear everyone singing along is so great.”

“When you're on tour, you're trying to get the crowd involved and really sing and perform to them. When you're going to write and be in the studio, it's like, 'Now I have to think about me.' That's the mind-set you have to work with.”
