Even the prettiest performers and even the most handsome performers, when they get that opportunity, they still need to step up to the plate and deliver.
I grew up, in my childhood, with some of the greatest women performers, on stage and on screen, and even my family - my mother and my sisters. So I was very busy watching women, as a child! I have a lot of memories of great women performers
The hardest part about improv is getting the audience to relax and enjoy themselves, because most improv is not very good, and the audience is nervous for the performers the whole time. Not that they don't even like the show, but they feel bad for the performers.
I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.
Songwriters aren't always performers, and even performing songwriters aren't always the kind of show-biz performers you think they'd be.
I look at old performers like James Brown: back in the day when you actually had to work hard to get poppin'. I look at all those types of performers. Even like Kid n' Play and the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff and Salt-N-Pepa. That era where they had to perform. You couldn't just rap. It had to be an entire performance.
Some of the most powerful female performers I've seen balance the feminine and the masculine and are incredibly strong. Like, I think Hayley Williams is one of the best rock performers.
Most performers don't admit this, because it sounds negative and performers are not supposed to be negative, but when I was on the road, I was lonely.
There are two types of people, two types of performers: Performers who know how to keep a show going literally when the power is gone and performers who haven't had that much experience and will panic and freak out and don't know what to do.

I still consider myself to be introverted, but everyone has a side of themselves that is amplified. Performers have to learn to tap into that, even if it's not natural.
Ordinary performers have giant TVs. Extraordinary performers have huge libraries.
I would not correct dancers if I was performing, because I don't believe in performers correcting other performers.
Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.
As long as I can get Bobby Heenan in my corner, then I'm a happy man because, to me, Bobby Heenan is one of the most underrated performers of all time. He's in my top five of all time performers because I don't think people realize just how good he was.
I've seen so much. And I've heard so many great performers. There are performers now that couldn't work back in the days when I came along.
When you have performers, there's the uniqueness of live performance and what performers do in concerts.
