I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.
Eli Whitney

I have, before now, waited for a pen to perform a macro.
Terry Prachett

I just initiated the project where I write music for somebody else to write the lyrics and also for the orchestra to perform. I've just initiated the project. That leads the project into creating an independent label outside of game music.
Nobuo Uematsu

I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.
Jennifer Lopez

I just to put out the best records I can and perform the best I can.
Dave Lombardo

I liked that idea. Someone who's trying to perform herself and not succeeding.
Maggie Gyllenhaal

I love being onstage and I love to perform. To be honest with you, I'm more comfortable performing than I am in an everyday situation, which I can't quite explain.
Melanie Chisholm

I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself.
Taylor Dane

I love good food but I follow strict rules the days I perform.
Jose Carreras

I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process.
Joan Armatrading

I love to perform live.
Katey Sagal

I loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
Neil Patrick Harris

I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don't think I'm in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
Alex Chilton

I perform for soldiers because they are important,'
Coolio

I played with a lot of great players before. They're all the same. They take a lot of responsibility for their own play, put a lot of pressure on themselves to perform and to play well.
Mark Messier

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing.
Stevie Nicks

I put on such a good show, the story is outrageous, and people don't want to hear that I'm basically a reasonable human being. As long as it continues to get me print, I'll continue to perform in an exuberant manner.
James Ellroy

I so wanted to perform, and I grasped every opportunity.
Trevor Nunn

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.
Victor Garber

I think that's so strange, because they do know that we're all actors and we perform things that have not necessarily anything to do with us personally.
Werner Klemperer
