Performing Quotes

I started at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest Picture Quote #1

I started performing at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest Picture Quote #1

When I finished performing ‘I Won’t Give Up’ for the first time, I opened my eyes, and I think there was maybe six people in there when I started, and when I finished there was about 30 people, all standing around with their jaws dropped in complete silence. I said, ‘Okay, I think this song has some power to it.’ So coffee shops work for me Picture Quote #1

I took the whole college prep trajectory, and then in my senior year of high school, I decided that performing was something that I had always done as a kid, and I loved it... I said, ‘This makes people happy when I do this, I feel good, I get to pretend and explore other areas and learn so much’ Picture Quote #1

When I’m not working, I’m on the road with my band. Or I’m performing in poetry houses doing spoken work. So I’ve got another passion and another outlet that allows me to be creatively fulfilled and not sitting at home pulling my hair out waiting for the right role to come along Picture Quote #1

I did a ‘Last Comic Standing’ audition in 2006, where you’re just performing for three people in a comedy club, in a big comedy club, and I remember them cutting me off, asking about my name in the middle of one of my jokes. Yeah, it’s just real weird when you’re doing stand-up in that type of sterile, unnatural setting Picture Quote #1

Performing comedy in San Francisco to begin with is pretty wild. You’ve got to - you’ve got the human game preserve to play off of. And it’s a lot of great characters everywhere. You work off that, and then you play the rooms, and eventually you get to a point where you’re playing a club that is a comedy club, with other comics Picture Quote #1

I’m getting bored performing the same songs over and over. Songwriting comes and goes Picture Quote #1

I’m coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing Picture Quote #1

I have been performing and touring and doing shows all over the world. But it’s really something special to get back on the U.S. cast of ‘Stars on Ice.’ It’s something I let go because of family commitments Picture Quote #1

A hallmark of high performance leaders is the ability to influence others through all levels and types of communication, from simple interactions to difficult conversations and more complex conflicts, in order to achieve greater team and organizational alignment. High performing leaders are able to unite diverse team members by building common goals and even shared emotions by engaging in powerful and effective dialogue Picture Quote #1

Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person’s sense of self-worth Picture Quote #1

I prefer the competitive atmosphere of a classroom setting, like yoga or Pilates. That keeps me going. Although performing on stage is great exercise! Picture Quote #1

[On performing in action movies] I’ve spent all those years learning how to do certain skills, and then that competitive spirit kicks in and you want to do the stunts. Basically, it’s the the male competitive ego at work Picture Quote #1

The world is a complicated place, and there’s a lot of division between people. The performing arts tend to unify people in a way nothing else does Picture Quote #1

Carly Simon abandoned the stage for seven years after collapsing from nerves before a concert in Pittsburgh in 1981. When she resumed performing, she would sometimes ask members of her band to spank her before she went onstage, to distract her from her anxiety Picture Quote #1

The very first concert I ever went to was a Green Day concert when I was 12 years old, at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ont., and I remember right after seeing them perform I started a band, and I wanted to get up in front of people and start performing. Ten years later, to be on the Green Day ‘American Idiot’ tour is really awesome Picture Quote #1

They wanted me to be a concert pianist, because I had a very good right hand, but my left hand’s terrible and I hated performing Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else’s writing Picture Quote #1

I certainly liked performing [Patrick Bateman], but it was because he thinks he’s so [bloody] cool and just the [stuff], but is really such a cheesy dork Picture Quote #1

I started salsa dancing with a few different companies and started touring the country. It was fantastic, but I realized that I really wanted to talk every time we were performing. That’s a problem because when you’re dancing, if you stop to talk, that’s not really cool to the other dancers Picture Quote #1

Marijuana, for me in particular, releases my creative juices. It doesn’t work well for performing, but for creating nothing works better Picture Quote #1

We are not what we seem. We are more than what we seem. The actor knows that. And because the actor knows that hidden inside himself there’s a wizard and a king, he also knows that when he’s playing himself in his daily life, he’s playing a part, he’s performing, just as he’s performing when he plays a part on stage Picture Quote #1

I actually got started in acting when I was in pre-school. I was really into dance and performing, so my mom had me in dance classes, and then I got involved in a local theater company Picture Quote #1

I’ve been acting my whole life. I have this huge imagination! I’m a dancer and my mom’s a dance teacher, and I was always performing and entertaining people. I’d go to see live theatre or a movie, and I’d become the main character for a few days afterwards. I loved being somebody new for a temporary amount of time Picture Quote #1

Going to the theater or having the honor of performing in theater reminds you of your humanity in a very different way. It’s a real release and an incredible challenge. But the stage is a dangerous place. You gotta be trained. Plus, crowds like when things go wrong. I think that’s part of the thrill. Anything can happen Picture Quote #1

Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It’s not just about perfecting the steps; you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing Picture Quote #1

I guess I think like deep inside, I know that it’s like, it’s a different kind of performing, it’s not really... You’re not performing like a guitar player or a singer is performing, you know what I mean? So it’s weird to be in the same type setup as one of those. ‘Cause I’m not really doing much, you know, like technically it’s not that hard Picture Quote #1

When I consider the deeper meaning of yoga, I realize it’s about a lot more than simply performing a variety of postures on a mat Picture Quote #1

I’ve always known that performing is what I want to do. There was never a defining moment. I just came out that way Picture Quote #1
