Lily TomlinLily Tomlin When people told the audience that [Sam Kinison] was good, he was accepted after that.
Norm MacDonaldNorm MacDonald I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
