There aint a microphone brave enough to give me feedback!
During my school visits, I really enjoy the feedback I get from them much more than anything I might tell say to them.
A lot of people recognize me or feel that they know me. A lot of times when I speak, they recognize my voice. It's fun, it's exciting. It's always good feedback.
Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows. It does take some time, but the fans appreciate it which makes it worth it.
I always make the point that teachers are people too, and that they don't just want to be in front of kids all day and have children be their only feedback loop.
I'm happy to say I haven't received that much negative feedback. I'm always thrilled when I get feedback from young people, particularly from The New Normal, young gay people - when they say they want that when they grow up, that means a lot to me. As a kid growing up, I didn't really have a lot of gay role models on television, so it's nice to be part of a movement that gives some more of those.
You have to be careful when you're getting feedback because people will give you conflicting feedback all the time, but ultimately you end up following your own inner guide.
If you're not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback.
I like textures and tones. Sometimes, it will be a melodic feedback from a song or something. I like warm, ethereal sounds. That kind of gets covered in every genre of music, so it could be a rock sample, jazz, soul, reggae.
You would not believe the amount of feedback I've gotten over people binge-watching The West Wing. Most of them have binge-watched it countless times.
In the best classrooms, grades are only one of many types of feedback provided to students.
With novels, you're sitting at a desk, alone, going slightly crazy, for anywhere from six months to a year with zero feedback.
One of the things I've learned is to be receptive of feedback.
Positive feedback makes the strong grow stronger and the weak grow weaker.
Go to a playground: Little girls get called 'bossy' all the time, a word that's almost never used for boys. And that leads directly to the problems women face in the workforce. When a man does a good job, everyone says, 'That's great. ' When a woman does that same thing, she'll get feedback that says things like, 'Your results are good, but your peers just don't like you as much' or 'maybe you were a little aggressive. '
Our physiology creates disease to give us feedback, to let us know we have an unbalanced perspective, or we're not being loving and grateful. So the body's signs and symptoms are not something terrible.
There's nothing more fun than acting on stage with a live audience and that immediate feedback.
Feedback often tells you more about the person who is giving it than about you.
The more feedback you give to people, the better it is, as long as the feedback is objective and not critical.
There are only a few genres, horror and comedy, where you can get that immediate feedback from the audience. It's very gratifying when that's what you're going for, and you can hear the reactions in all the places that you intended.
