I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals.
Lisa Loeb

I'm much more used to the TV shows, which are demanding to write and perform but very fulfilling.
Rory Bremner

I'm not here to perform. I'm here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.
Ace Frehley

I'm not performing now. What I do now is listen to music all day long. Listening is very nourishing to me. I might go back to perform, I might make another record. I've got a record half finished.
Michael Nesmith

I'm planning a different show, though for obvious reasons some of the material will be the same, and of course I will perform material from the new CD.
George Duke

I'm the slowest reader in the world, because I perform it all in my head.
Honor Blackman

I've always wanted to perform on the London stage.
Mimi Rogers

I've been really, really blessed. I got to perform on stage with Bob Dylan. I've gotten to sing with Mick Jagger.
Sheryl Crow

If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist.
Norman Mailer

If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen.
Oliver Kahn

If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.
Neville Marriner

If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.
Zig Ziglar

If your movies don't perform, they just stop calling you.
Matt Damon

In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show.
Timothy Leary

Institutions - government, churches, industries, and the like - have properly no other function than to contribute to human freedom; and in so far as they fail, on the whole, to perform this function, they are wrong and need reconstruction.
Charles Horton Cooley

It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.
Lao Tzu

It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of "culture."
John Cage

It's also that comedians don't have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They're writers who perform their own material. It's more interesting. And they're sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.
Rachel Weisz

It's not just buying the company. Sure, we picked the right companies, and we picked the right management and, most importantly, we've given them the right incentive to perform.
Henry Kravis

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?
Jan Hammer
