Bad Performance Quotes

One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. Manfred Mann
Sometimes when I see a bad performance and people still clap... I wonder if they're clapping because they liked what they saw or because they're happy it's over? Kanye West
Nothing is a greater obstacle to our progress in knowledge, than a bad performance of a celebrated author; because, before we instruct we must begin with undeceiving. Charles de Secondat
Shaun White quote: "Every time I've had a bad performance at an event, I've come..."
Every time I've had a bad performance at an event, I've come back more determined and focused. Shaun White
When you are new to the business, you think if you give a really bad performance, that's one they will print. You will be judged. You just have to be brave. Robbie Coltraine
Classical stuff takes a lot of rehearsal time and preparation, but with stuff that involves improvisation, you can over-rehearse it and it gets stale. You don't want it to be too comfortable. In fact, a good sound check, a good rehearsal usually means a bad performance. John Zorn

I can respect bad acting that owns its own style. James Wolcott

As it was, things went from bad to worse, as they often will when amateurs are involved in an activity that they perform in bad temper? or in a hurry. John Irving
Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them. Napoleon Bonaparte

No one is any longer carried away by the desire for the good to perform great things, no one is precipitated by evil into atrocious sins, and so there is nothing for either the good or the bad to talk about, and yet for that very reason people gossip all the more, since ambiguity is tremendously stimulating and much more verbose than rejoicing over goodness or repentance over evil. Soren Kierkegaard
Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns play Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. Oscar Wilde

Seeing someone else perform and letting me be the critic for once... that's not a bad thing. Mats Sundin
