Venue Quotes - page 2

I've always chosen the most competitive and most difficult careers - that's kind of all I know. Being a dancer is the same thing. You're auditioning. You're working really hard to achieve that goal as an artist. With modeling, you're auditioning. You're putting yourself out there. So acting was just another venue, but the most difficult one to actually achieve and to actually work because it's much more cutthroat. But I was used to it because I had already been auditioning through dance and modeling so I knew that aspect of it. (Crystal Allen)

Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.

Eric Bana

Over my lifetime, the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.

Eric Bana

As an actor you want people to know you and there are times you want your pictures taken, but it's unnerving to walk out of a venue with friends and there are 20 people flashing lights in your face. Do you know how bright those lights are?

Ashley Greene

I am always fighting inside the Council to get the message across that at each competition venue, we should send somebody to inspect and to make sure the athletes will be looked after in a correct manner.

Alberto Juantorena

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it, but I hope it never stops.

Chubby Checker

Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media.

David Sanborn

You're at the hotel and after that you go to the venue and sit there and wait.

Dave Lombardo

I've forgotten more about bad putting than all the lousy putters in the firmament combined. My mind has been twisted into an incurable, disturbing venue of bad speed and inadequate line. I just want to go out and not feel like I'm putting a Rubik's Cube with a flimsy piece of rope.

Gary McCord

The great thing about Ticketmaster is that it's seen as the comprehensive site for ticketing, artist information, venue information. We're a marketing platform, not just a technology platform, and we're going to build on it.

Irving Azoff

I've always wanted to make 'Swamp Thing.' I like 'Swamp Thing.' I think it's a good idea, and I thought it would be a good venue for a 3-D movie, but there were rights issues with 'Swamp Thing.' (Joel Silver)

Fiorello LaGuardia saved City Center. The real man saved it, and he made this building into a performing arts venue.

Kate Baldwin

I'm launching my own festival in South Wales. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. It's going to be held at Margam Park, because I wanted the venue to be as close to my home as possible.

Katherine Jenkins

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

Kathryn Bigelow

I'm not someone who gets to play The O2 and places like that, but that's the kind of rock and roll venue. The popularity of stand-up means that some people are getting to play rock star venues.

Tim Vine

I figure it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy; if I make a successful arena rock record, I'll wind up playing arenas! I wouldn't mind being back in that kind of venue because of the kinds of things you can do with production. You can make your shows more interesting, which would be fun to do.

Todd Rundgren

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

Yancy Butler

I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.

Yelawolf

All tours are filled with humiliation. My publisher once hired a private jet to fly me to a venue where 1,000 people were waiting. It almost bankrupted him.

Alain de Botton

Behold the E4 Udderbelly! An Edinburgh Festival venue that's a ruddy inflatable cow!

Patrick Allen

When you say 'failure,' that seems really dramatic, but a lot of failure is just really depressing and mundane. I remember the first time I ever played a concert in Italy. I played a venue that held 900 people, and I think five people showed up. It wasn't a big, 'John Carter of Mars' type failure. It wasn't dramatic; it was just depressing. (Moby)

I don't tweet because I don't need another creative venue. I don't need another form for self-expression. I don't need another way to get my thoughts out to people. I have one.

I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.

Sara Bareilles

The honest man might observe... that no one gets something for nothing; that politicians go in poor and go out rich; that the Government screws up everything it touches; and that the Will to Believe is best confined to the Religious Venue, as to practice it elsewhere is just too damned expensive.

David Mamet

I loathe hecklers. I haven't got a good syllable to say. When you come out of the club circuit and into the concert hall, they should be gone. There's an element of manners that should tell you that the ticket is dear and it's a different venue.
