Performer Quotes - page 10
I suppose it's a very highly developed form of denial, but some part of me completely denies that I'm a performer.
Daniel Day-Lewis

Fergie
Every performer wants to sing live. That's what I live for.
Leona Lewis
George Burns was a Vaudeville performer I particularly loved.
Tom Waits
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
Christopher Walken
Sometimes I say I feel more like a dancer than an actor, because there are things implied about being an actor that I don't really like. I feel more comfortable with the word 'performer'. I like being the thing. I like being the doer. There's a factualness to it. And then certain resonances happen out of how you apply yourself physically.
Willem Dafoe
I made the decision to take on board the critical feedback. Reviews are something you can easily ignore as a performer or writer but I chose to not ignore them here and I think that I benefited. I think I'm stronger for it - and I have a tougher skin as a result.
Rufus Wainwright
She's a nice girl – I just feel very honoured that she wanted to sing my song. I used to scream for her in Times Square and now I work for her. When I was 13 she was the most provocative performer of my time. I love her so much! Britney certainly doesn't need any freakin' tips from me! Britney Spears is the queen of pop. I was learning from her.
Lady Gaga
I guess you could say it's always been my destiny to be a performer.
Lady Gaga
Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer.
Lady Gaga
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
Sarah Silverman
The constant fear of a performer is to become what is reflected back at you.
Linda Ronstadt
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
I think the purpose of a piece of music is significant when it actually lives in somebody else. A composer puts down a code, and a performer can activate the code in somebody else. Once it lives in somebody else, it can live in others as well.
Yo-Yo Ma
I wouldn't say it's an alter ego, but I have anxiety around social situations, and I don't like going to parties...As a performer, onstage I know my place. I'm sure of myself. There's no doubt. It's just existing, and it's so lovely to get to be for an hour.
Mitski
Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet, as well as one of the wealthiest, but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah, fashion merchandising, adoption melodramas, the gym, and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.
Camille Paglia
The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.
Margaret Cho
Everything's about my personal entertainment. The world is my stage. Keep it up- you're becoming a star performer in the show.
Richelle Mead
My dad is a Jack Nicholson lookalike and a frustrated performer, my mother's into reading and poetry. I suppose the thing I owe them most is my confidence.
Michael Sheen
To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist,One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
If you can strum the guitar a little, hit the drums - it's always fun and a good way to release tensions...You can have a hard day at work, pick up your instrument and just feel better. You also can appreciate why a performer is up on stage and see how they have spent their life learning their craft.
Pete Escovedo
I don't get on stage and give a social diatribe. I am a performer and an entertainer.
Peter Wentz
