People don't want to always see a comedy or an action film. If the film in a particular genre is made well, then it will see its share of success.
We work hard on every film, and then it's up to the audience whether they like it or not. At the end of the day, it is the audience wish what to accept and what not.
Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay.
The viewers have the brains to decide the merits of a film and there is no point in blaming them if it flops.
If people are given quality stuff to watch, they'll watch it.
I am extremely eclectic in choosing my films as an audience, and as a direct result of that, I love exploring, I love cinema, and I love learning from different experiences.
You may not like the humor, but that is why every radio has an on-off button.
I can't make a choice to do a movie because people will go see it. People look at what a movie becomes and decide if they'll see it.
There's obviously a group who enjoys what Tyler Perry is putting out there. And why fault them? And there's a group that loves the things that Spike does. So they should enjoy that, too. Is it my taste? Maybe not, but I'm not going to fault anybody for doing what they're doing as long as people are showing up.
What makes a media company successful is how it copes with competitive markets in which people have a choice. Competition today is at a more intense level than it has ever before been because the barriers to providing information in the virtual world are so low and the choice of provider nearly infinite.
We want to give our audiences flexibility in the way they're commercially engaged in the content.
Entertainment is changing so much because of the devices we have at our hands. I'm really proud to be on the forefront of that. You don't have to work one place. It's our generation. As much as we get knocks against us, we don't accept non-quality work in our entertainment. We're no longer force-fed. Wrestling is going through that.
I don't think I consciously decided to write for the young adult audience; my subconscious decided for me.
I like whomever to come to my shows. I want people who want to see me to come see me. I don't want to force people. I don't want it to feel like a job!
I think it's a fair criticism to say that we've gotten our fill of superhero films, and audiences should just have different things to choose from when they go to the theaters.
Filmmaking is a real democracy - it's up to the audience to vote with their tickets.
Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that's available.
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
The audience makes the decision of what kind of actor they want to watch. I always have said in the last 20 years, the real boss is the audience.
Viewers can determine what they want to watch and what they don't want to watch.
I'm very happy where 3-D is going, which is that it's becoming a choice - and thankfully, most people are still choosing 2-D.
I am against censorship in any form. I think anybody should be able to make any movie he or she wants and let the public decide. If it's disgusting and they don't want to see it, they won't go. I believe in the audience.
I have always maintained that the audience should take a call on this. Its up to them to decide whether they want to see a pirated version or not. They should understand the effort and amount of hard work that go into a film.
Now, with YouTube, the audience decides. You can make something that is 20 minutes long or one minute long.
I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.
