Performer Quotes

I feel like my dad was the more artistic one, creating his own thing, loving to be around people, and all this stuff, doing exciting things, and my mom was more of the performer Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t playing a drag queen - I was playing an extraordinary performer Picture Quote #1

Since I was very young, probably two or three, I had really good memorization skills. I would memorize stuff from TV and perform it for my family. I was the little performer for most of my early life. So eventually, my mom caught onto that and thought I might want to get into acting Picture Quote #1

In India, I have been called a ‘destroyer.’ But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer. As a composer I have tried everything, even electronic music and avant-garde. But as a performer I am, believe me, getting more classical and more orthodox, jealously protecting the heritage that I have learned Picture Quote #1

I know that I am an excellent live performer. I know that I have spent my life paying attention to my art form, developing my art form, worrying about my show and what it is I’m bringing to people, making sure that I give them a fine trade. They get a two-hour show, sometimes a three-hour show, for a decent price Picture Quote #1

The piano has disappeared from working-class family life, which is a shame. It’s associated with the middle classes now. Everyone in my family sang and played piano, but my parents were delighted and amazed when I became the first professional performer in the family - apart from a clog-dancer way back Picture Quote #1

I was a shy kid, but somehow I knew I would make it as a performer. I’d always be telling my mum that I was going to be a famous singer. In my school yearbooks I would write, ‘Remember me when I’m famous.’ I knew I had a gift Picture Quote #1

Paul McCartney is a genius ... Paul married Rock and Roll to beauty, and forever raised the bar for composers, musicians, and fans ... an incredible solo performer ... the creator of our favorite songs Picture Quote #1

The point of my job is to entertain and make it look easy, so I guess it’s the parts you don’t often see which make me feel proud. All the behind the scenes work, the fears and insecurities I have to face and overcome to improve myself as a person and performer, all of the people who believe in me and encourage me Picture Quote #1

I’m a hometown girl, and my personality at home is the opposite of the performer in me. But then, when I’m home and haven’t done anything for a while, I get really itchy and nervous and weird-feeling Picture Quote #1

I like playing music. I don’t always like the feeling of people looking at me. I don’t think I’m, like, a natural performer, but I’m getting better Picture Quote #1

You might be feeling sick or a little down, but the second you hit the stage and hear the crowd, you’re ready to perform. That’s what a true performer is Picture Quote #1

I auditioned for a play in fifth grade, and that’s when I knew that I wanted to be a singer and performer Picture Quote #1

For me, ‘Rent’ was all about coming out of myself, finding out who I was, learning the power I could have as a performer. And ‘Wicked’ was about harnessing all that strength Picture Quote #1

There’s no gap between the writer and the performer, which is what I think makes [Monty] Python unique. Five or six people who write Python and five or six who act it. That’s what makes it unique Picture Quote #1

Performers and their public should never meet. Once the curtain comes down, the performer should fly away like a magician’s dove Picture Quote #1

My job as a performer is to make sure that whatever happens in a performance lives in somebody else, that it’s memorable... If you forget tomorrow what you heard yesterday, there’s really not much point in you having been there - or me, for that matter Picture Quote #1

I’d say that, first and foremost, I’m a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up Picture Quote #1

When somebody is doing something really funny, in real life and as a performer, my instinct is to join them Picture Quote #1

I like to invest as a performer in the director’s vision and then bring a sense of reality to whatever I’m doing, whether it’s comedy or whether it’s drama, and trust that they’re going to tell me if something’s reading as funny or if it’s reading as dramatic or reading in the right tone Picture Quote #1

For me, the most effective cabaret evenings have been some of the most personal ones, where the performer is comfortable enough to simply be themselves Picture Quote #1

You get callbacks, and they either give it to what they call a ‘name’ performer, or they decide to go in an entirely different direction Picture Quote #1

Right now, my career is in three directions: as a performer, as an arranger, as an author - and I don’t give any one of them true precedent, or true top marks, as opposed to the other two Picture Quote #1

My singing wasn’t horrible, but my dancing really made it look silly. It’s not like I’m a horrible singer that can’t sing. But I don’t have the consistency or the presentation skills that a good performer has Picture Quote #1
