Performances Quotes

I care about making music and I care about creating experiences for my fans with my music and my videos and my performances Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows ‘Smash’ is about musical numbers, and everyone knows we have fantastic dance sequences and great performances Picture Quote #1

I learned a lot from Rudimental’s live set. It’s all about good feelings, good vibes and a good time, and that’s what I want from my shows. I like big, bolshy performances, like Beyonce. I can’t dance like her, though Picture Quote #1

Throughout my childhood, I did a form of Irish dancing that was kind of the precursor to ‘Riverdance.’ It was a mixture of ballet and Irish dancing that my teacher, Patricia Mulholland, had invented, essentially. It was Irish ballet, and she would create performances based around the myths and legends of Ireland Picture Quote #1

Of course, De Niro has had a long history of memorable performances. Everyone knows ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘Raging Bull,’ but ‘Awakenings’ really did something for me Picture Quote #1

To me, there were comedies that should go up for Oscars. I think Eddie Murphy in ‘The Nutty Professor’ was one of the greatest acting performances of all time, but it’d never be recognized that way. They always go for De Niro and Pacino, but Eddie Murphy played seven different people! Picture Quote #1

You know. I’ll try anything. I’ll do anything. I’ll explore. Try different takes. All that kind of stuff to do sometimes, to do good performances, but always conducive to having a good time creatively Picture Quote #1

When I did Seven Easy Pieces, I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it Picture Quote #1

I love casting against type and doing things you wouldn’t expect, because I think you get more interesting performances that way. Hollywood loves to pigeonhole people, and there’s nothing an actor loves more than to do something different Picture Quote #1

No, I’m not a drug addict, and neither is my husband. If that were so, you’d get a lot less work out of me. It would show in the performances and in the work Picture Quote #1

In principle, I think the idea of rewarding a good effort is interesting, but movies are generally different from each other as are performances and the conditions on how the performances are given and how they’re edited and so forth Picture Quote #1

The only criticism heard with any frequency of Elton John’s first American album, ‘Elton John,’ was that the production was too grandiose. The melodies were superb, and lyrics frequently very good, and the performances flawless Picture Quote #1

If you emote in your performances, people feel connected to you as an emotional person, because that’s how we communicate. That doesn’t mean people know you. At a certain point, I think you have to just be your own self Picture Quote #1

I like the powerful story, the excellent performances the beautiful cinematography and the vision of the The Piano Picture Quote #1

If someone really takes a risk, it doesn’t get dismissed. That’s what happened when the Oscar was won posthumously by Heath Ledger, who did one of the definitive villain performances of all time. But it really has to be exceptional in defining everything we previously knew about the actress or the actor Picture Quote #1

My appearances are almost theatrical performances. I bring items for the children to see, such as photographs and actual piece of meteorite, a family quilt, sometimes spectacles, sometimes clothing, so that they can understand what I write about is family stories based in fact Picture Quote #1

I try not to have actors in mind when I write because the tendency then is to be influenced by either their last performance or your favourite of their performances Picture Quote #1

I love ‘Cheers.’ I didn’t watch it growing up, but I watched it getting ready to do the first season of ‘New Girl.’ It bowls me over every time I see it. The romance, the comedy, the performances - every bit of it is just so compelling Picture Quote #1

If you focus your energy on the camera, it takes away from the time you have to focus on the performances Picture Quote #1

I loved putting on stories as plays when I was just six. I was the director, the actress and the set designer; I cast my girlfriends in parts, and I suggested to the local kindergarten teachers that we do free performances for the children Picture Quote #1

I watched season four of ‘The Wire.’ They have subtle performances that they do through their eyes. You could watch season four with the audio off and still understand what’s happening through their eyes Picture Quote #1

Over the years, I think, people - actors, writers, whatever - lose their frame of reference. Their frame of reference is based on somebody else who did this or did that. Performances. So it just becomes a reflection of what already works. Like a warm-up. And that’s an invitation to be inauthentic Picture Quote #1

I was trying so hard. I would memorize the entire script, then I’d be lipping everybody’s lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it’s disgusting. My performances were horrible. [On his first season of THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR (1990)] Picture Quote #1

I want to be known for my performances and doing my craft well, not for funny stuff I post on Twitter or whatever Picture Quote #1

As an actress, I’m constantly watching different shows and films and am always gathering information and inspiration for characters and techniques to make my performances the best they can be Picture Quote #1

You do sometimes watch performances and just think, ‘I may as well give up. I won’t reach that. I may as well give up.’ But then there are other actors you watch and just think, ‘Oh my God, yes, I want to try and do that. Try and be like that’. And Bryan Cranston is someone who I’d like to try and be like Picture Quote #1

The press concentrates on a divorce an actor’s going through and they ignore the good performances he gives, or the causes that he works for Picture Quote #1

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn’t feel an affinity for them then they wouldn’t be particularly good performances Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not a silent art. The poem must perform, unaided, in its reader’s head. Educated readers give themselves a good performance. Educated listeners compare performance with text and with other performances. Good poets use the full resources of language Picture Quote #1

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here, and I think it’s just terrific. There’s so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music, good performances, great looking girls, great videos, the whole thing Picture Quote #1
