Performer Quotes (page 53)

I was raised with 'Laurel and Hardy' and 'I Love Lucy' and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself. Steve Martin
I loved to make people laugh in high school, and then I found I loved being on stage in front of people. I'm sure that's some kind of ego trip or a way to overcome shyness. I was very kind of shy and reserved, so there's a way to be on stage and be performing and balance your life out. Steve Martin
Goran Persson quote: "Remember one thing - that Sweden is performing better than the..."
Remember one thing - that Sweden is performing better than the rest of Europe. Goran Persson
Jamie Lee Curtis quote: "I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me."

I say this quite deliberately, this is the finest Shakespearean performance I've seen. Donald Wolfit
Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war. Pierre Curie
Andrew Cuomo quote: "The time has come to return integrity, performance and dignity..."
The time has come to return integrity, performance and dignity to New York and make it the Empire State once again. Andrew Cuomo
Stars wide of belt often cultivated a gentlemanly grandeur, a groomed refinement that filtered through their fingertips - the dainty fidgets of Hardy's plump digits, Orson Welles performing magic tricks with nimble dexterity, Jackie Gleason lofting a teacup to his lips as if he were Lady Bracknell - or through a fine set of twinkle-toes. James Wolcott
New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush. Andrew Cuomo
Bad acting comes in many bags, various odors. It can be performed by cardboard refugees from an Ed Wood movie, reciting their dialogue off an eye chart, or by hopped-up pros looking to punch a hole through the fourth wall from pure ballistic force of personality, like Joe Pesci in a bad mood. I can respect bad acting that owns its own style. James Wolcott
Even people that know Johnny Cash's music really well and know that he was married don't really know that much about June Carter. So finding out about her really helped to inform my performance and to bring her to the front in a way that she has never been before. Reese Witherspoon
Itzhak Perlman quote: "One of the most important elements in teaching, conducting,..."
One of the most important elements in teaching, conducting, and performing, all three, is listening. Itzhak Perlman
National sovereignty is an obligation as well as an entitlement. A government that will not perform the role of a government forfeits the rights of a government. Richard Perle
I've always had a sense of humour, and I still do, so I just want to go on performing as long as I can. It's as simple as that. Norman Wisdom
In the practical world of computing, it is rather uncommon that a program, once it performs correctly and satisfactorily, remains unchanged forever. Niklaus Wirth
