I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
This is a fantasy fiddle tune. The part you fantasize is the fiddle.
At Columbia there's no performing arts department, so I was searching for it everywhere I could, and I took some photography classes and I ended up becoming fascinated with Eastern Religion, and ultimately it seemed to encompass the more abstract mind that I have.
I realize that artists can become fatigued from touring the world over, but if it's your first major tour, you've got to buckle down and do it, said Sami Jarroush, a music blogger for Consequence of Sound. Short of suffering from an actual medical emergency, saying you're going to stop performing so you can take a vacation isn't exactly going to make you look good in the eyes of however many fans you have left.
I can remember back as far as age 8, performing with the Boston Folk Song Society. It was a Woody Guthrie song.
Songwriting is an art unto itself, not to be confused with performing.
If you're an artist like a really, really long time, it stops being a performance. I'm not performing anymore. I reveal myself to the audience. I show you some of me. It's not a show no more.
A lot of those comics can't hold down relationships and they've got no other life apart from performing. They sleep in their Jags and a lot of them can't even talk. All they can do is tell gags.
When I'm performing, I hope my research and my experience with those things I'm talking about rings true.
A huge portion of Trump voters are incredibly pleased with how he's performing. They see what they want to see.
I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience.

Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.
My experiences taught me firsthand that when a person is not performing well, there are many possible reasons, some not of his own choosing.
Makes no matter if I'm performing in a grocery store, you're always gonna get 150%.
Music makes your soul feel amazing while you're performing it.
To me, performing means trying to do the most you can with the partner in front of you, with the story you're telling. There are actors who have carried me, who have brought me elsewhere or with them.
I combined theatre and films with live TV, such as The Royal Variety Show, performing sketches opposite Bob Hope and Maurice Chevalier.
I have people come onstage and ask me questions and I get to meet them. That's one of the reasons I like it. When you're performing, when you're doing your movies, they're not there with you.
I love performing live, especially when I get in the zone. But the studio is really becoming a place I have grown to love.
I don't often get a chance to have a frying pan in the show.
