Performer Quotes (page 6)

We played for peanuts. But we did what we wanted to do, we heard what we wanted to hear, we performed what we wanted to perform, we learned what we wanted to learn. Steve Lacy
What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line. Earle Brown
If I belong to a tradition, it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed. Alfred Brendel
All good performance pieces have some philosophical validity. That's the difference between mere theater and performance art. Jack Bowman
I think 'SNL' is so well-known for its musical performances, as well, and people really breaking into America through a really great performance on there. So I think me and Gotye are both really excited to be amongst such company. You know, it's great. Kimbra
Henry Rollins quote: "Giving a good performance, giving it all is what it's all..."
Giving a good performance, giving it all is what it's all about. I love to perform. Henry Rollins
I've worked with actors before where I was like, this is not working, and then I've seen their work on the screen and I've been like, Wow, that was a really great performance. Because there are a lot of elements with film. It's not like stage. It's not a kind of performance art anymore; it's a highly tuned kind of collaboration - a symphony. Vincent Kartheiser
A performance is only as good as the audience you are playing to. A lot of times you feed off of the audience, and we always try to give them all we've got and sometimes you don't get a lot back, but we've never been dead whenever we've performed. Kelly Jones
Tony Bennett quote: "I still insist that American performers are the best..."
I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world. Tony Bennett
We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am? Annette Bening
When you have a performer as talented as Bill Murray or as Harold, that can write as well as they can perform, you can do a final draft on the set if you think of it that way. Ivan Reitman
I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world. Lara St. John
Teller and I worked Renaissance Festivals and street performing - actually more real, no kidding around, Philadelphia street performing than we did Renaissance Festivals. Penn Jillette
I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy. Mary Lynn Rajskub
I'm not performing now. What I do now is listen to music all day long. Listening is very nourishing to me. I might go back to perform, I might make another record. I've got a record half finished. Michael Nesmith
