One of the things I love about music is live performance.
I actually acted onstage before I'd ever seen a live performance, and I loved it.
Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
I would be terribly disappointed if anything would get in the way of my being cast in something, or if performances were canceled. It was a fix that I obviously needed.
Robin Williams understands sonic performances. He understands what it's like to change your voice up.
How much we like ourselves governs our performance.
I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.
Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.
You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later.
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Every performance is completely its own thing.
I don't make comparisons between any movies. I compare characters. All my actions, performances, all my films, they are driven by the characteristic. If I'm playing a cop, then I give him a particular style - I may not know that style, but as an actor I have to be responsible to do your homework and do your research and training and stuff like that.
You spend enough time on set as an actor and it's great when a director was at some point an actor or understands acting. They're able to finesse performances out of you that a lot directors can't get.
A multithreaded file system is only a performance hack.
Lizzy Weiss is such a great writer, and she really writes for the performances.
Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.
Sketching is a continuing source of learning rather than a string of performances.
I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.
Chris Chandler is the best performance poet I have ever seen.
Gene Autry was a pioneering star in the early days of music, radio, film, television and rodeo performances. I am proud to posthumously honor such an inspiring role model
