What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat?
Al Yankovic

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.
Michelle Shocked

I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance.
Chuck Mangione

Performance stands out like a ton of diamonds. Nonperformance can always be explained away.

It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn't need to be drastically different.

Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience.
Jack Bowman

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels.

Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
Roland Joffe

Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success.
Mark Spitz

Sometimes when I see a performance that really takes me, I struggle. How can I express this to this person, I want this person to know how I felt. I want to get this across, and it's not very easy.
John Astin

Yes, there is plenty of hard work for them in addition to that which they do when they appear, smiling and happy, when the curtain goes up. Giving a performance is the least of their worries.
