I think my audience is smart. If there's a way to be entertained and get things out - real things, not stupid moral crap - that's the best.
Your audience is a lot smarter than you realize.
I always found the Chicago audience to be a smart, fast-moving, violent and cheerful lot, and it's always good to be back.
Versatility is the key today. We have a smart audience today; if you keep doing same stuff, nobody is going to watch you.
The audience is smart and catch on pretty quick when they are sold the same old thing.
I find my readers to be very smart, and there is no reason to write dumb.
I guess I think I'm writing for people who are smarter than I am, because then I'll be doing something that's worth their time. I'd be very afraid to write from a position where I consciously thought I was smarter than most of my readers.
Audiences are smart, and they don't need to be spoon-fed everything.
I love it when I come across a word I don't know. And I would never treat my audience like they weren't smart enough to come along with me.
I refuse to do anything easy. I'm writing for the smartest person out there. I'm not equating myself with the smartest person out there, but hopefully I'm writing to say you're not alone. I'm not alone. We're not alone.
I just love shows that don't hand everything to you, that ask you to be smarter. I think that's something really important that HBO has done to change the landscape of TV.
I try to create some stupid entertainment for really smart people that they don't feel too stupid watching. In 'Xanadu,' the biggest laugh was a reference to Achilles.
I think the audience is pretty intelligent.
I usually say I write for the smartest, cleverest, wittiest audience I know, and that's me.
I guess you'd have to say that sometimes the audience is smarter than the critics.
