We knew what mums, dads, and children would understand and enjoy without resentment. I don't see the requirement to upset people. You're there to entertain and please.
I aim to please. I'm nothing if not a vaudevillian.
I think the audience likes to be entertained.
We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.
The truth is I want to make music that people enjoy.
We want to satisfy our fans, but we want to surprise them, too. That's our challenge.
Nostalgia is one thing. It's great to go and play the old songs. People know them and appreciate them. You got to give them what they want to hear.
I don't want to make films that are constantly pleasing the audience, it is not my tradition.
If you are writing comedy and try to please everybody, you'll please nobody.
A great while ago the world begun, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain; But that's all one, our play is done, And we'll strive to please you every day.
As far as show business, it's the gratification of doing something that pleases the fans.
