When you stand on the stage you must have a sense that you are addressing the whole world, and that what you say is so important the whole world must listen.
Stella Adler

The world's a stage, and I want the brightest spot.
David Lee Roth

People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.
David Lee Roth

I feel like I own the stage.
Ritchie Blackmore

If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.
Ritchie Blackmore

I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits.
Ritchie Blackmore

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.
Aristophanes

I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
Henry Rollins

I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.
Henry Rollins

I love to go on stage and sing.
Henry Rollins

This is my 25th year of being on stage. A lot of people who I kind of toed up to the starting line with are no longer in this position. I feel very, very lucky.
Henry Rollins

I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
Henry Rollins

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.
Angus Young

When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.
Angus Young

I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.
Van Morrison

People say it's a movie about boxing, but... I don't agree at all. I don't think it's a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It's just a stage where this is played out.
Morgan Freeman

I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.
Van Morrison

Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.
Shelley Winters

I became the stage for the great argument between Nietzsche and Rousseau. I was the extra ready to take on all the roles.
Jacques Derrida

Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.
Ninon de L'Enclos
