Performing Quotes

I just love performing so much, and I threw myself into every musical theater production that was going in my home town and at school. And then, I went to the National Youth Music Theatre, which was really a galvanizing experience for me when I was 17 Picture Quote #1

Performing is the hardest thing. Even though I’ve done it for so many years, it’s still exposing yourself. You suddenly become extremely vulnerable when you’re on camera. You’re filmed and you’re being observed. It’s a bit of a violation each time Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, the most daunting thing about performing is making eye contact with your audience, so just look above them and at the corners of the room. Soon, you’ll totally forget they’re there Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I always envisioned myself as performing, as being in that business. It was all that I knew, so it’s kind of like I’m just following in the family tradition Picture Quote #1

I’ll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same Picture Quote #1

Extroverts may get places faster, but for introverts it’s all about working at the pace you need and, at the end of the day, performing at your best Picture Quote #1

I really just love reading. It’s my favorite thing, performing my poems live Picture Quote #1

At primary school, me and my best friend used to do D.I.Y. assemblies, and we’d do it as many times as we could until we got banned! We used to sing ‘Hero’ by Mariah Carey; it was, like, my favourite song; we were obsessed with it. We’d do it as a duet, and it’s the first I remember performing Picture Quote #1

When I was little, I was very loud and loved performing in front of people. I was fearless. When I hit puberty, I became very shy and self-conscious. I still get nervous sometimes before shooting and definitely before big auditions Picture Quote #1

I definitely suffered from stage fright. I had to work really hard to come out of my shell. When I was little, I was very loud and loved performing in front of people. I was fearless. When I hit puberty, I became very shy and self-conscious Picture Quote #1

I like the feeling of not knowing where to look when you are only performing for one person or watching someone practice. It creates this kind of a strange in-between, which can be mirrored in the feeling of making a painting Picture Quote #1

For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people Picture Quote #1

I started dancing ballet when I was very young, so my background really is dance. But I remember loving the feeling of being on a stage and having a love for performing from a young age Picture Quote #1

I’ve always enjoyed performing. I was in figure skating before, and then I joined my first school play. Ever since that, you have not been able to get me out of the theater Picture Quote #1

Don’t forget there are two sides to performing. Finding the truth, but you also have to be transparent enough for the audience to see it. How many times have you seen a performance and thought: ‘Well, it seems to be meaning a great deal to you but it ain’t coming across to me?’ It is to be shared Picture Quote #1

Stars wide of belt often cultivated a gentlemanly grandeur, a groomed refinement that filtered through their fingertips - the dainty fidgets of Hardy’s plump digits, Orson Welles performing magic tricks with nimble dexterity, Jackie Gleason lofting a teacup to his lips as if he were Lady Bracknell - or through a fine set of twinkle-toes Picture Quote #1

Performing on stage is my first love - it’s why I wanted to be an actor in the first place - and ‘Arcadia’ is the highlight of my career so far. I love the intimacy of a live theatre audience - you can really squeeze every last drop out of each scene Picture Quote #1

I’ve been performing since I was very little, about three years old. I was inspired at first by the MTV artists of the 80s and started putting on ‘shows’ in the apartment, most of them set to Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ album. In my mind, there was a full lighting rig behind me... but it was just a couch Picture Quote #1

When I first came to New York City in 1967, I joined up with Richard Schechner’s Performance Group - where we worked in the Performing Garage in SoHo Picture Quote #1

I went into performing for the community. Being backstage with your company of fellows is the best part of working in live theater. That energy, that combined focus, the synergy - it’s addictive Picture Quote #1

Watching foreign affairs is sometimes like watching a magician; the eye is drawn to the hand performing the dramatic flourishes, leaving the other hand - the one doing the important job - unnoticed Picture Quote #1

The grace of God sets us free from a life of perfection, performing, and pretending 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

Don’t focus on the wins and losses... focus your efforts on performing to your full potential Picture Quote #1

It’s fun when you’re winning and performing well, but it’s also hard because now you get older, you got responsibilities Picture Quote #1

LaGuardia High School is a place of acceptance. You have every type of kid there, performing. The outcast girl would not have been made fun of in my high school Picture Quote #1

I like not being noticed. It has been a struggle because I love performing, but if I’m in a group of people and someone has a bigger personality, I’m like, ‘Go ahead, and have fun!’ Picture Quote #1

Life in the theatre isn’t necessarily when you get money from performing. It isn’t when you sign a contract. It isn’t even when you are in a play. It’s when you understand it. If you understand it, you’ll know why you want to act Picture Quote #1

Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. It’s not as if I sit down and play ‘Fire and Rain’ by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up... the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions Picture Quote #1

Going from someone playing 15-people venues to performing at the Grammys, it was this giant leap and sort of showed me it was possible with what I wanted to do and the kind of music I wanted to write and artist I want to be to impact a lot of people Picture Quote #1
