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 New York and my friends started to call me Gaga, they said I was very theatrical and they said, 'You're Gaga'.
Lady Gaga

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

I was the class clown so I was used to performing and fooling around in front of my friends.
Dominic Monaghan

I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.
Anthony Anderson

I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.
Carmen Electra

I would really, really, really like to be a legend like Madonna. Madonna knows what to do next, and when she's performing, the audience is just in awe of her.
Britney Spears

I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.
Eric Bogosian

I'll do about 13 shows in Branson next year, and I'll be performing at the Grand Palace.
Mel Tillis

I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.
Toni Braxton

I'm a fan of making films. Whether I'm on stage or in front of a camera, one of my first loves is performing for the people. I'd like to do more acting.
Busta Rhymes

I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.
Bill Mumy

I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.
Shannon Miller

I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.
Chris LeDoux

I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.
Zooey Deschanel

I'm more interested in writing than in performing.
Frank McCourt

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 not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot!
Leo Kottke

I'm really not into the educational aspect of performing. It's not in me.
Dave Lombardo

I've always had a sense of humour, and I still do, so I just want to go on performing as long as I can. It's as simple as that.
Norman Wisdom
