I like the performing part, it gives me a huge rush but it still makes me nervous. Being in front of large crowds is intimidating to me and I feel myself withdrawing.
Torrie Wilson

I liked performing, but not the struggle.
Irene Cara

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 performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.
Jamie Lee Curtis

I love performing in front of an audience and seeing smiles on the kids' faces.
Shannon Miller

I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. So it wasn't something I ever seriously considered.
Sherilyn Fenn

I miss performing before a live audience - the energy and excitement - there's nothing to compare with it.
Rita Mero

I performed in Sydney some years ago for the Sydney Festival and I am just so pleased to be returning to the wonderful Sydney Opera House and also performing in Melbourne for the first time.
Lesley Garrett

I persist in performing.
David Tudor

I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
Brad Dourif

I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing.
Nora Dunn

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard.
Adrian Edmondson

I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.
Erykah Badu

I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
Jim Carrey

I think I realized it was an art form at the beginning, but it took me a really long time before I was able to view what I was performing myself as an art form.
Patton Oswalt

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
Louise Berliawsky Nevelson

I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I missed singing so much. And performing. Man, I missed it so much.
Ronnie Spector

I want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination.
Rowan Atkinson

I was at college doing performing arts, and just spending all my time mucking about, and the lecturers thought I would be pretty good at stand-up, so I gave it a whirl.
Allan Carr

I was performing in this burlesque group, and we would go to dance rehearsals every day. You'd use every part of your body. Even though some of it is slow, it takes a lot of muscle to be able to dip down and come back up.
Carmen Electra
