Krzysztof Kie艣lowski
“Or take this girl, for example. At a meeting just outside Paris, a fifteen-year-old girl came up to me and said that she'd been to see [The Double Life of] V茅ronique. She'd gone once, twice, three times and only wanted to say one thing really - that she realized that there is such a thing as a soul. She hadn't known before, but now she knew that the soul does exist. There's something very beautiful in that. It was worth making V茅ronique for that girl. It was worth working for a year, sacrificing all that money, energy, time, patience, torturing yourself, killing yourself, taking thousands of decisions, so that one young girl in Paris should realize that there is such a thing as a soul. It's worth it.”
Krzysztof Kie艣lowski, Kieslowski on Kieslowski

Thomas de Quincey

Thomas De Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium Eater

audience.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“Your audience is one single reader. I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person-a real person you know, or an imagined person-and write to that one.”

Robert McKee
“Given the choice between trivial material brilliantly told versus profound material badly told, an audience will always choose the trivial told brilliantly.”
Robert McKee, Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting

“A director is a general in charge of an army of traitors like any showman. An audience will love you, laugh with you and wait outside your stage door when you're hot and on a roll, but no audience is ever truly friendly. Not for long. Bore 'em or disappoint 'em - even once - and they'll turn on you and tear you to pieces, regardless of who you are or might once have been.”
Richard Stanley

Craig Ferguson

Michel de Montaigne
“Speech belongs half to the speaker, half to the listener.”

But when I think of my work out in the world, written and published, I like to imagine it鈥檚 being read by some stranger somewhere who doesn鈥檛 have anyone around him to talk to about books and writing鈥攎aybe a would-be writer, maybe a little lonely, who depends on a certain kind of writing to make him feel more comfortable in the world.”
Don DeLillo

Ava Reid

“If I had done nothing more than bring McCabe's talents to the attention of what has become a world-wide audience--if I had done only this job, I believe I'd have established myself as a force for mass education and enlightenment with immediate and constructive effects on the thinking portion of the population. My association with McCabe has been enough to build a career for anyone.

{Julius on legendary scholar Joseph McCabe}”
E. Haldeman-Julius

“I always have one major question鈥hat do you want your audience to feel? Do you want to scare the shit out of them? Squirm in their seat? Feel beautiful? And how they answer that question gives me cues to work on. I translate their words into music.”
Angelo Badalamenti

Mitta Xinindlu
“The goal is that we need not to have a large audience to make a difference.
If you have a pen, use it to contribute towards the betterment of your society.
If you have a voice, speak your way through making a positive change in your environment.
If you have connections, use them to make a positive difference.
If you only have your family or friends, relay your message of change to them.”
Mitta Xinindlu

Flannery O'Connor
“You may say that the serious writer doesn't have to bother about the tired reader, but he does, because they are all tired. One old lady who wants her heart lifted up wouldn't be so bad, but you multiply her two hundred and fifty thousand times and what you get is a book club. I used to think it should be possible to write for some supposed elite, for the people who attend universities and sometimes know how to read, but I have since found that though you may publish your stories in Botteghe Oscure, if they are any good at all, you are eventually going to get a letter from some old lady in California, or some inmate of the Federal Penitentiary or the state insane asylum or the local poorhouse, telling you where you have failed to meet his needs.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

“No one is buying what you're selling”
Daniel Taotua
