You can tell by the applause: There's perfunctory applause, there's light applause, and then there's real applause. When it's right, applause sounds like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.

Skitch Henderson

Comedy crowds - we always want to come out and ask you, 'How you feeling?' We always say that, 'By a round of applause, how do you feel?' Right? 'By a round of applause, how you feeling?' It's the only place in the world that you judge how you're feeling by a round of applause... There's never like a car accident, people all over the ground, people running over - 'Ma'am! Ma'am! By a round of applause, how do you feel? By a round of applause - she's not clapping!

Dane Cook

Awards are like applause, and every actor likes to hear applause.

Ralph Fiennes

There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.

Friedrich Nietzsche

To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts.

Ezra Taft Benson

I appreciate your applause, but I don't do it for applause. I do it for cash, it's much better.

Eddie Izzard

Applause, applause, life is our cause.

Joni Mitchell

Old men need applause too.

Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.

Carol Channing

You'll hear a lot of applause in your life, but none will mean more to you than that applause from your peers. I hope each of you hears that at the end.

Andre Agassi

The Renaissance… was based on a new idea of the importance of the individual. But this was a fragile foundation, because individuals depended on constant applause and admiration to sustain them. There is a shortage of applause in the world, and there is not enough respect to go around.

Theodore Zeldin

Applause is an instinctive, unconscious act expressing the sympathy between actors and audience. Just as our art demands more instinct than intellect in its exercise, so we demand of those who watch us an apppreciation of the simple unconscious kind which finds an outlet in clapping rather than the cold intellectual approval which would self-consciously think applause derogatory. I have yet to meet the actor who was sincere in saying that he disliked applause.

Ellen Terry

You get a good review, and it’s like crack. You need another hit. And another. And another. I know authors are like Tinkerbell and generally need applause to survive, but it’s a slippery slope.

Alexandra Bracken

Well, I'm not one of those people who needs the limelight. If I'm performing, that's what I'm doing. If I'm not, I don't long for it. I don't need the approval of an audience, or applause.

Patti Smith

When you can be your own best audience and when your applause is the best applause you know of, youre in good shape.

L. Ron Hubbard

Well, I think if more people had more applause, it would make them feel better. I often give my wife a round of applause. If the meal is very good I give her a standing ovation.
