I'm not a Sundance guy either. I've never had applause lasting over two minutes in my life but we had a 17-minute standing ovation.

If you are lucky enough to be a success, by all means enjoy the applause and adulation of the public. But never, never believe it.

Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.

In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.

We believe that the applause of silence is the only kind that counts.

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
