“The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience.”
“But there's an enormous difference between an audience that's watching you because they can't wait to see what comes next and an audience that's watching you because they're waiting for you to fail.”
“The theatre infects the audience with its noble ecstasy.”
“Life is like a theatre, but the question is not whether you are in the audience or on the stage but rather, are you where you want to be?”
“Don’t try to visualize the great mass audience. There is no such audience—every reader is a different person.”
“Do you need an audience to create work, or does not having an audience liberate you and make you a truer artist?”
