Physicality is the basis of performance.
I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.
An announcer is only as good as yesterday's performance.
Critique the performance, and respect the hard work put in.
Nothing has more words and performance than rap music.
Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
How much we like ourselves governs our performance.
I've seen my performances. I don't like them.
How you measure the performance of your managers directly affects the way they act.
You're always going to be more judgmental about your own performance than anyone else.
I have never taken any substance to enhance my performance.
My relationship with shoes has always been linked to shoes, women, women in their shoes and performance.
The same sort of thing was supposed to happen when performance animation was invented: Everybody thought it would save so much time. But it became its own niche altogether.
Better moods = better performance.
I just like working. I'm not good with downtime. I need to be doing something. I'm a music person, so I'll always have that going. . . whether or not I'm getting paid for it. It was different to go into talk shows and performances by myself.
[I influenced by ]the work of early [Michelangelo] Antonioni, Orson Welles and [Carlo] Pasolini, I love [Nicolas Jack] Roeg's film "Performance".
James Gandolfini was a genius. Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. . . A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes. I remember telling him many times, 'You don't get it. You're like Mozart. '
Personally, I always felt times aren't so excellent as are performances.
My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.
The script and the performances and the style all clicked.
