Performing Quotes
All men, and all created nature, have been at work, from the beginning of time to this day, to produce the circumstances which now influence our actions. AS soon as an act has been performed, it becomes independent of the individual performing it, and forthwith gives birth to some other act, which last gives birth to still another, and so they continue, and will continue, until the law of cause and effect shall cease to operate.
William Batchelder Greene
Your best shot at happiness, self-worth and personal satisfaction - the things that constitute real success - is not in earning as much as you can but in performing as well as you can something that you consider worthwhile.
William Raspberry
I'm grateful to be alive, because I really did not think I was going to be alive, onstage performing songs.
Sharon Jones
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I've twice been on the point of giving up my performing career to train for the priesthood.
Stephen Hough
You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go "Na-na-na-na" on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.

I was raised with "Laurel and Hardy" and "I Love Lucy" and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself.
Steve Martin
That will do them a world of good. It's very difficult for a team on tour when they're not performing. They lost the two Tests, even though we competed and asked questions of the Australians, and there's been no consistency. But winning brings that and today might bring them the confidence they needed.
Allan Donald
Being onstage and performing, the high of that, and people coming to see you, and getting to make them laugh - that's what gets me hyped up. It's a nervous excitement.
Andrew Dice Clay
I strive to seek new material that fit into the logic of construction, while performing services appropriate to real needs.
Gaetano Pesce
I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.
Missi Pyle
Performing is the one time I don't have anxiety - surprisingly, right?
Lil Xan
I suppose that Paderewski can play superbly, if not quite at his best, while his thoughts wander to the other end of the world, orpossibly busy themselves with a computation of the receipts as he gazes out across the auditorium. I know a great actor, a master technician, can let his thoughts play truant from the scene.
Minnie Maddern Fiske
I happen to like household chores and resent them only when performing them makes it difficult for me to fulfill my professional duties.
Kay Boyle
There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.
Douglas Glenn Colvin
Ramones
I have enjoyed teaching most of the times that I have done it. I also like being by myself and making things and performing, so much that if I hadn't needed an income I probably wouldn't have done much teaching. Having said that, I think working with others, having to come up with art projects, and learning how to present your ideas in a clear way, to adults and/or kids is always interesting and rewarding.
