WISDOM FROM NORMAN LEAR

"Years ago" [said Steven Bochco] "Norman Lear said to me: 'Don't think that because an audience is angry at you that they hate what you're doing. Don't be afraid of that, and don't feel like you have to make nice with everybody. If the audience is angry, it's because you've engaged them in some fundamental way.'"

From "Licking and Salting War's Open Wounds" by Allison Hope Weiner, in today's NY Times.
