Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow Picture Quote #1

As a pianist, our particular role is to enter a piece and its logic and create a particular interpretation from our understanding. The most important thing for the performer is, after all, to create a special atmosphere - we enter the composer’s feelings and emotions and recreate them freshly for a given audience Picture Quote #1

I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude - which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It’s nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I’m solo for the most part Picture Quote #1

I was the family alien. Both my parents are quite creative, but I was... appalling... always putting on little shows. I was rather a shy child, not a natural performer, but there was a performative edge to everything I did Picture Quote #1

I loved all fantasy, and I always thought that the ideal job as a performer and an entertainer would be to take on a mythical character, you know? Make someone up. Give them a voice, a mannerism, whatever. I always thought that that was the coolest way to do Picture Quote #1

I just listen to so much music that I like the role music can play in scoring something. I’m not doing song parodies or funny songs, I’m just adding some music to my words. So it’s limited and specific, but as a performer I find it pretty enjoyable Picture Quote #1

The talking shows are like free jazz. I’m just gonna go out there and blow with the idea of keeping it streamlined and not wasting time. It’s wild. And it’s a great thing when you see a performer really able to Picture Quote #1

I’m doing exactly what I was supposed to do. Yeah. I didn’t exactly choose this. My own life, if it were up to me, would be very, very quiet. I’d be like a shopkeeper, a book collector, or something like that. I’m not like this. Myself as a performer and an artist is totally different from who I am Picture Quote #1

In my early childhood, I was a performer by nature. I used to do puppet shows as a kid and entertain kids in classes and the teachers would make it a point that I was the entertainer of the class, but only after high school and in college that I started doing theater and acting classes, because I thought it would be fun Picture Quote #1

Working with Al Pacino was an amazing experience. He’s such an amazing guy. He’s an incredible performer and actor - and, aside from that, just a generous human being Picture Quote #1

Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before Picture Quote #1

Usher is amazing. He’s perfection to me as a performer. He gets down Picture Quote #1

There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian-Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that Picture Quote #1

My introduction of Whitney was that if there’s going to be one performer for the next generation who combined the beauty and lyric phrasing of a Lena Horne with those Gospel fiery roots of an Aretha Franklin, it would be Whitney Houston Picture Quote #1

My entire life, I’ve always known that I wanted to be a performer, but I didn’t know exactly how, where or when. I never learned or studied the craft, formally. I grew up doing martial arts and playing piano. But, something inside of me always said that I was going to do this, as far back as I can remember Picture Quote #1

I’ve enjoyed appearing in Atlantic City. East Coast audiences are a bit brighter than Las Vegas audiences. I think most entertainers will tell you the same thing. The East Coast audiences are more perceptive - especially when it comes to a performer with a theatrical background Picture Quote #1

I’m a singer and performer in a hybrid show that’s standup, music and audience participation Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been innocent, but I don’t think I’m a bad kid! I didn’t get voted prom king. I was kind of the dancer, the performer, but I was always very athletic, too Picture Quote #1

Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I’ve never played with a band. I’ve always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn Picture Quote #1

The most important thing you can do as a performer is to be yourself, or be an onstage version of yourself. If you’re not being true to yourself, and somebody likes that other version of you, you’re kind of stuck Picture Quote #1

Personally, I think I am much calmer under incredibly stressful situations, and I’ve learned to deal with pressure and nerves, which is key to being a performer of any caliber Picture Quote #1

I always did plays. When I was in kindergarten, I got chosen to be Alvin in ‘The Chipmunks.’ We did a Chipmunks song. I was always a natural performer. It was easy for me. I danced and I sang, and all that stuff. I felt like I’d be something in the arts, but it vacillated between being a dancer and a singer, or whatever Picture Quote #1

I never planned on being a live performer. My whole forte was about being in the studio, producing, playing the piano on recording sessions. I was all about the studio Picture Quote #1
