Johnny Galecki Quotes

Our only competition in the theater is boredom, because if I'm bored with a play, if I'm revolted by a play on stage, with the Broadway prices, especially today, I'm going to walk out and not come back and pay that price again.

As far as how much you listen to the audience, you listen to them when they really hate something.

The audience likes their emotions to be touched. They want to laugh and cry and feel good.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.

There's really nothing like a live audience right there. When you're in a bad show, you can hear the creaks in the chairs.

I'm afraid I don't look at reviews or anything like that, but you get an immediate sense from the audience that they've had a lovely evening.

Attention spans are so limited and ticket prices so high. We're anyway in a business of manipulating emotions. But each film needs to be positioned truthfully so that people don't feel cheated.

I don't know what an audience wants to see but I know what I like to see.

For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie.

If the laughter of the audience was malicious we wouldn't show it.

It's really fantastic because families can come to my shows and they all like it. It's really weird.

Audiences are so much more sophisticated than they've ever been. They expect a lot more. I don't think because it's an hour of your Thursday night rather than an hour and a half of your weekend that you should be gypped at all in quality.

I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show.

All the audience cares about is what you put up on the screen.

You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.

Film making is an expensive, as well as a serious business. We should be able to entertain our audiences, who are fully aware of what they want. Every filmmaker has a different point of view and presents facets of society.

Through years and years of playing to various audiences, what I've learned is - and I think quite a few actors will agree with me - we're not always the best judge of that audience's reactions or not. And we discover, to our amazement, at the end of the show, they bring the house down with applause, and we thought, 'No way tonight,' you know.

The film itself should interact with the audience. In the case of 'Queen of Katwe', people are laughing, sobbing and dancing. I am taking them on a ride... It is not like I am asking them for handouts.

After all these years, I still get nervous in front of people. I can't help it. I just, you know, I want it to be a good show, and I want people to get their money's worth.

I think with any challenge or any matchup, I can have my own personal feelings of what I want, but it really all depends on our audience. Our job is to give them the best entertainment that we feel is right. If it's something that they want to see, they'll be loud and vocal about it, and we'll do it.
