I look up to Bernard Hopkins as a fighter. I'm honored to be his co-main event and to be able to give a great performance.
It seems strange to make a priori arguments about the relative performance of governments and the markets in health care when there is so much empirical evidence.
Let's note, that in what I consider the most disgraceful performance abroad by an American official in my lifetime - something not exampled since Jane Fonda sat on the anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi to be photographed - Mr. McDermott said in effect, not in effect, he said it, we should take Saddam Hussein at his word and not take the President at his word. He said the United States is simply trying to provoke. I mean, why Saddam Hussein doesn't pay commercial time for that advertisement for his policy, I do not know.
I have absolutely no objection to performance and success as long as they don't become false idols and threaten to rule our lives.
I like the energy of live performance.
It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.

Look at how many great actors or entertainers have been lost to the world because they did a performance one night and that was it. With film, you capture that, it's shown all over the world and it's there forever.
The same dynamics that promote performance also support learning and behavioral change.
I try to get the best performance an actor can give.
In real life, I always look at people and how they walk, or how they carry themselves. I think about the body a lot, in performance.
Miss Petrowska,an excellent pianist, held the audience transfixed with Chou Wen-chung’s work. Miss Petrowska was coolness itself in getting the hardware into the piano and out again…in Messiaen, a feeling for the music’s reverent sobriety combined to produce an absorbing performance.
It takes far less energy to move from first-rate performance to excellence than it does to move from incompetence to mediocrity.
Chess is one of the few arts where composition takes place simultaneously with performance
A true champion and athlete is never satisfied with their performance. You can always do more and always improve.
Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight quite simply changed the game. He raised the bar not just for actors in superhero films, but young actors everywhere; for me. His performance was dark, anarchic, dizzying, free, and totally, thrillingly, dangerous.
