Viewer Quotations

I have a very high tolerance for gore and blood. I am, like, the perfect horror movie viewer because I do not get scared very easily. I can really stomach anything so, as a result, I have watched a lot of really disgusting stuff that I should probably never have seen.

I want the pictures to be working in both directions. I accept that they speak about me, and yet at the same time, I want and expect them to function in terms of the viewer and their experience.

I'm as anxious as any viewer would be to see what Temple is going to do next. All I know is that in the second half of the season, he's going to have more sexual tension developing. And it's a great cast - they're all Broadway actors except for me. I aspire to that.

The power and appeal of Documentary is the way it alters and plays with the way the viewer relates to and understands the subject.

What I aspire to is to have the viewer look directly at the subject, as if they're looking through a window at the real thing.

You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it's going to be about something and it does the opposite.

For me, photography is not just about exposing film, it's about exposing the viewer to something new, a place they haven't gone before, but most importantly, to people that they might be afraid of.

I'm not going to let people get away with either a dishonest or inaccurate premise to what we're talking about because I think that does the viewer a disturbance.

A still image attracts the viewer with an overall impact, then reveals smaller details upon further study.

But you can still find good films if you read your local film critics and are willing to drive a bit. You have to be a proactive film viewer to have the most provocative cinema life.

When I do watch things, they tend to be a lot of comedies. I actually like some of the British comedy series. But, on the whole, I'm not a huge viewer of anything.

I've seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You'll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas.

What I learned, a little too late, was that the 'traditional' Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime.

The promise of any artwork is that it can hold us - viewer and maker - in a conflicted or contestable space, without real-world injury or loss.

The sitcom's traditional role has been to comfort the viewer who feels burdened by the unreality of American expectations.

I think if you're a regular viewer of Fox News, you're among the most cynical people on planet Earth. I cannot think of a more cynical slogan than 'Fair and Balanced.'

Every film is faced with the enemy of time. Only so much story can fit into the 90-150 minutes of time that moviegoers are willing to stay in their seats. Naturally, compression is necessary. So are the exclusion and amalgamation of characters so that the viewer does not become bewildered.

As a writer, I've tried to avoid strong opinions about morality. You just want to present things as they are and let the viewer come to their own conclusion.

The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act expires at the end of this year. Thus, we must act quickly to ensure our constituents continue to receive the services they enjoy.

Pure Flix makes evangelistic films, but we also make family films. I think the viewer wants to see quality entertainment that the whole family can watch, and many nonbelievers watch our films because they can watch with their family and young kids.

Every viewer who ever turned on 'Doctor Who' has taken him into his heart. He belongs to all of us.

When you're representing a sport, people are more likely to judge and comment as, unlike other fields, sport permits every viewer to participate to a certain level.

When I am preparing my 'lookalike' photographs, I think about the character of the real people, because, if the photographs are going to be plausible, you have to convince the viewer that they could have happened.

It is not an aesthetic misstep to make the viewer aware of the paint and the painter's hand. Such an empathetic awareness lies at the heart of aesthetic appreciation.

Nobody in their right mind would say, 'Hmmm, what a great guy,' ... He's not your average sociopath. But I've tried to find things in him that a viewer can identify with. He's so ? well, clumsy is a nice word for it. And besides that, I made the choice that he's very, very angry about something. People can relate to that.

One of the slides we presented shows the boundaries of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. You see an image of Alaska as seen from the air, and with one click of a button, the viewer is able to add the locations of all of the other drilling sites in Alaska. It really drives home that most of Alaska is already open to oil and gas development and there's this one place that we've managed to protect thus far.

My favorite types of movies to watch as a viewer are thrillers - I really have a soft spot for them, I love them. Especially psychological thrillers.

I have a ton of respect for Mel. The viewer can watch both and choose. I don't feel any kind of competition individually whatsoever.

I would think the networks would look to partner and encourage experimentation with techniques that involve the viewer and discourage them to skip the commercials.

I am very conscious of the viewer because that's where the art takes place. My work really strives to put the viewer in a certain kind of emotional state.

I don't want the viewer to be able to peel away the layers of my painting like the layers of an onion and find that all the blues are on the same level.

Having a roster of the best on-air talent in the business remains a top priority at CBS Sports. James Brown is a viewer favorite in terms of knowledge, credibility and likeability. His return to CBS Sports improves the team in the studio and in the field.

I love abstract art because when it is good, it can put the viewer in touch with who they are beyond their culture, psychology, history or personality.

If the film has a seductive nature at all, it's there to draw the viewer in, but I create the visuals in a way that seems absolutely inevitable to me.

If the filmmaker has not done the work to grab the viewer with compelling storytelling, then the shock will probably be little more than a passing gimmick or an obscenity.

He has a story to tell that is universal, and he wants the viewer to understand this is mankind's problem, that we're all in this together. It's more about what's happening in the painting rather than who it is happening to.

If I respond to you quietly, the viewer at home is going to have a different reaction than if I respond to you with emotion and with passion and I wave my arms around. Somebody like this is an intellectual; somebody like this is a freak. But that's how we make up our minds.

My personal hope is that every viewer will be inspired to become part of the solution to reducing our carbon emissions. As the film shows, everything we need to address this pressing problem already exists, but the time to act is now.

Photography is always a kind of stealing. A theft from the subject. Artists are assaulters in a lot of ways, and the viewer is complicit in that assault.

Our job in the next few days will be to free the puppy. The magic of this piece is the viewer completes it. Something happens in your mind; the viewer will create the mirror.

It is easy to force a reader or viewer to interact. The trick is in making them want to interact, and in letting the story unfold hand-in-hand with that.

It is another interesting way to look at viewer opinion, and we are going to be speaking with these companies about doing business with them, but my concern is whether or not what they monitor can be manipulated.

I think it's a little simplistic to explain a work through the psychology of its author. In other words, that Haneke has emotional problems, so I don't have to take his films seriously. By using this argument, the viewer retreats from the challenges of the film.

Three-dimensional art draws in the viewer -- they're able to feel a part of the artist's world.

MHD is all about providing the ultimate HD live-music television experience in a way that only MTV Networks can do. With Dolby Digital 5.1 audio complementing the full-resolution 1080i picture, MHD puts the viewer in the front row center at the most exciting music events on television.

We'll try to get as many points of view into each story so the viewer can take away their own opinion as to what transpired.

There is a raucous energy about each piece. The viewer may find their way through the pieces easier if they are all gathered in one place and shown together.

Today's anchor handles breaking news. They do that live. If they don't know what they're talking about, the viewer will know. These are not people reading scripts.

There is a viewer who is over 50 who just gets very excited about me in leather. There are also mothers who sit their babies in front of the set because somehow the baby laughs.

We don't care where you are, we don't care what you're wanted for and that's what happened. Your viewer saw what was going on and let us know. We went ahead and apprehended him and he was at the hospital.

We're trying to create a blend of audio and video elements to induce the viewer to do something more proactively, ... And for advertisers, companies who already have audio clips in the can from other media campaigns can now use them through banner ads.

Whether we're a sport hunter or a bear viewer or we're Timothy Treadwell, it's all the same to the bear,

During each of these segments we also will take viewer phone calls. If they have any thoughts on what they are hearing or seeing, they can offer their two cents or pose a question.

With Frat House, at times I needed to make music that would reflect what these fraternity brothers might actually listen to, but still keep it within the realm of a score; it still had to lead the viewer through the scene, or just help create the mood.

At Pixar, we've been huge fans of any new technology that makes the viewer experience of our movies better. Blu-ray is the best yet because the picture quality, especially for our movies, is unbelievable.

They are aggressively buying their way into an Internet strategy from nowhere three months ago. They're going after Web properties that mirror the demographic of the viewer of The OC ... (following) the activities of what those same consumers do online.

The way I see it, the stage tells the story for the ear, and the screen for the eye... On stage, you can't really control where the viewer's eye goes; there's a whole stage picture there, and the viewer can be looking anywhere. But with the camera, if you want the viewer to look at something in particular, you can put their eye there.

With several shows like 'American Idol' and '24,' we have a commitment to the viewer to run them every week. We think it would be a disservice to the fans of those shows to put them on hiatus just because the Olympics are on.

This season of American Idol is already the most watched and should be interesting to say the least. In keeping with previous years, there's sure to be controversy, heartbreak and triumph, all of the ingredients that give Idol the massive following it continues to enjoy. Everyone bets, but viewer voting can make the outcome so difficult to predict and is what makes betting so much fun.

To be honest, whatever the viewer figures are I'd suggest they are inflated because of the habit among Japanese housewives of just turning the TV on in the morning and leaving it on all day.

Subconsciously suggest to the viewer that he is seeing a fragment of continuing life, not a staged scene with a visible framework.

With the addition of Halo-View, which speeds up data display to accommodate today's high-data volume, extremely complex designs, Halo users now have a very efficient layout viewer to support large-scale data, super high-speed display and multiple formats ? all in one product suite.

All art is interpreted by the viewer, even if the artist tells the viewer what he or she had intended with the work.

We have to build new networks to support the Internet, for one simple reason, there isn't a single viewer in the audience today that's happy with their Internet performance. They're not happy with the performance of the bandwidth coming into their home or business. They're not happy with responsiveness of Web pages, they're not happy about the ability to not download fat files.

This benefit of seeing... can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image... the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate.

You still have to have Lifetime, because that viewer base is a lot more established and committed. Dropping an established channel is more of a weakness than not having an emerging channel.

You need to know who your ideal viewer is, and mine is a 14-year-old screaming female. And I'm thrilled about that. I am thrilled.

I'm interested in the space between the viewer and the surface of the painting - the forms and the way they work in their surroundings. I'm interested in how they react to a room.

I never saw it as a political book, ... I wanted to open up a world that people might not know anything about. It's up to the people who go to this movie to decide how they feel about it, just like it's their job as Americans to decide how they feel about the war. We're asking the viewer to take responsibility for how they feel.

I'm a B-list celebrity trying to give it an honest look. They see me do actual work. ... I try to be the viewer with a microphone.

I'm very lucky that I started out as a reader of the comic book and a viewer of the show. And I try to remain that, and make 'The Walking Dead' that I love watching. Luckily, I have the source material that I love, and I want to serve that as well.

In the end, this gripping, tension-packed film leaves the viewer to ponder the psyches of two individuals in a tragically demented relationship, and to judge: Was Karla herself caught in Paul's web, a victim?

If you go to Sundance, the experience that I've had there as a viewer is... there's like a hundred movies there, and you've got to figure out what movies are sold out, what can you see. Sometimes you go to see movies that you don't know anything about because it just works into your schedule.

At any moment, a viewer can choose what they want to see, and use different camera angles. So if you happen to have the good taste to see me, you can watch pretty much solely that. It's really your mix and your version of the show. I don't think we can forget that the band is really in peak form, and that's really shown on this DVD.

The average regular viewer watches about half the episodes of series, but with serialized dramas, it can be as high as 70%. When you get one that's successful, you're going to get people there every week.

Everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. These are new ways to watch television. It's very trendy and appeals to younger viewers. Will it replace traditional TV watching? No. But these are incentives that can deepen the relationship between the viewer and the TV show.

The interest will allow them to maintain their viewer base to the extent Lance participates in the channel. They can't be the Lance Armstrong Channel once he leaves competitive cycling.

It won't ever be the same without him, but Des has always been a Countdown viewer and had a huge respect for Richard. In that we find great comfort.

They are highly dependent on the interest of the American audience. They have to maintain interest in the American viewer and one way is to have the games return here regularly.

They are hybrid narratives so that the viewer constructs his or her own story.

I look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance.

It takes much more than just the game itself -- or just the chat itself -- to get the viewer in. They want something extra. They want a laugh.

The big reason that 'Doctor Who' is still with us is that every single viewer who ever turned in to watch this show, at any age, at any time in its history, took it into their heart - because 'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everyone made 'Doctor Who.'

The Golf Channel is going to be home for 15 full-round tournaments. The viewer is going to know where to find the PGA Tour when it's not on a network. We won't have competing coverage. The British Open is on in the morning and we will be on the air later in the day.

The good news for NBC is that China is a bigger story than any athlete. The significance of those Games will draw the casual viewer because it's China. ... You are talking about 1.3 billion people and a country that is using the Games as a statement of its place in the global economy.

Along with setting a higher standard for bicycle racing in the United States, we have an opportunity to create a new benchmark for interactive race viewing by collaborating with Adobe to bring original content to the official race Web site. The unique experience provided by the live race viewer will give fans unrivaled access to the nuances of race strategy and the beauty of our California backdrop.

The idea of a 'happening' is that there is little distance between the viewer and it, whatever 'it' is. It's an experience that's on-going and evolving.

This has the chance to make our networks even stronger, ... It provides more exposure to the shows and gives the viewer the ability to watch the episodes on their own timetable.

These are only a tiny fraction of the Countdown family. But if only one viewer is unhappy with her appearances, Carol is upset.

It's less of the listen-and-learn type of documentary approach of 20 years ago and more of a live-and-learn approach through the programming. The viewer learns through their experiences about what they're learning. Yes, it's entertainment, but it's really a program about going into the world of work.

It's all about accelerating the collaborative design process, and involving more people in that process without the need for a special viewer or CAD software.

They give the viewer another opportunity to see a show they've missed; they're another opportunity to get that show further along (in its overall visibility).

It was difficult for me to feel my feelings, so I just buried them. Then I found that acting was a way for me to get them out. But now that I'm a reasonably sane adult, acting is more about my trying to engage other people: Acting is cathartic for the viewer as well.

We're going to try to create some programs that are going to generate viewer interest and appointment viewing. We still will have news on Headline News.

I try to get the viewer to be at one with the sense of place as I was -- alone for that moment -- when I painted it.

This is the Holy Grail of all this -- viewer participation. . . . For the next generation, they'll eat this up.

They're going after Web properties that mirror the demographic of the viewer of 'The OC' ... (following) the activities of what those same consumers do online, ... buy.

A great artist can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is... and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be... more than that he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armidillo see that this lovely young girl is still alive, prisoned inside her ruined body.
