A theatre receives recognition through its initiative, which is indispensable for first-rate performances.
Franz Liszt

After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.
Graham Nash

Al Gore's performances could be a case study in abnormal-psychology classes.
Rich Lowry

America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
Meryl Streep

Americans work a long away ahead of themselves because of the size of the place. To make any impact at all you have to promote yourself with live performances ages before a release.
James Taylor

Black music has become a commercial commodity. Live performances are not so accessible as they were previously. It use to be possible to go to the bar on the corner and hear music. It was available for a fifteen cent beer.
Archie Shepp

But I can't say that I didn't like John Hammond's performances often better than the originals.
Warren Zevon

Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world's greatest athletes, as the phenomenal performances of these outstanding characters will obviously show.
Major Taylor

Hopefully, that people could see a progression in my performances because that's how it's always felt to me.
Christian Slater

However, yes, especially as one gets older, you know, you really hope that your music will become more generally available, even though some of the performances might be riddled with faults.
John Eaton

I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I'm surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are.
Ivan Reitman

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.
Bob Balaban

I am thrilled yet overwhelmed. There are so many great women athletes, some incredible performances.
Nancy Greene

I can't imagine how many first performances I've done, perhaps 500. Some of them have been very good, and some of course very bad.
Esa-Pekka Salonen

I did the one concert, and I was not bitten by the conducting bug, and I thought I was done, but then the phone started to ring, and gradually, over time, I started conducting more and more. Now a third of my performances are with orchestras.
Bobby McFerrin

I didn't develop or build synths. I had my technicians modify them for my live stage performances.
Gary Wright

I do not believe that the government is in any position to say exactly how every single business and every single activity shall reach those performances.
Dixie Lee Ray

I don't care to analyze acting. On the other hand there is a fascination because distributors are putting out British films. You get films here with great performances you'll never see again. Why compare. We should go after the businessmen.
Tim Roth

I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.
Barbra Streisand

I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances. My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears or inspiration. Otherwise, why should I do it?
John Davidson
