I didn't want to admit that I was a performer. A performer meant spotlights - a performer had connotations of theater. I would have preferred agent to performer.

Vito Acconci

I don't feel like I'm the type of performer who's going to knock your socks off. I'm trying to get over my nerves.

Tobias Jesso, Jr.

Like, your body has to get used to being in front of people. Like - and you have to be like - you have to be kind of a ham, you know? Like, the thing about writers is they're generally self - comedy writers - self-loathing, sort of play small. And as a, like, performer, you have to think like a comedy writer but act like a performer.

Neal Brennan

We're headed for what is called Type 1 Civilization, planetary civilization. Type 2 would be stellar civilization, like Star Trek. Type 3 Civilization would be galactic, like Star Wars. We are Type 0. We get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. But the question is: Will we make it? Will we make the transition from Type 0 to Type 1? It's not clear.

Michio Kaku

In every character that you play... I mean, I don't think I'll ever be the type of actor or performer per se who transforms, you know? Like Claire Danes transforms into Temple Grandin - I'm not gonna do that.

Ilana Glazer

The idea that any performer type is owed anything is a joke to me.

Henry Rollins

If I belong to a tradition, it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed.

Alfred Brendel

Erica Schroeder

If I belong to a tradition it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what he should do and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed.

Alfred Brendel

Some people are good at performing in front of people like that, but I'm uncomfortable at it. I think maybe that's the difference between acting and being a performer. I don't think I'm a natural performer.

Kristen Stewart

Music is probably the only place I get energy from. Music and maybe watching a really tremendous performer, watching a terrific performer like Jagger or watching a great movie.

Bette Midler

I don't like Type-A actors, and I don't like Type-A golfers. I like people who relax into what they do and who enjoy it for the process.

Terry O'Quinn

Most female characters have either been the temptress - like a Betty Boop type - or the victim - like an Olive Oil type.

Paul Dini

As a solo performer, it's total involvement. What I do is to break down the wall between audience and performer.

Taj Mahal

I've been the type of person [and] the type of athlete, I don't like to be given anything. I like to earn.

Shaquille O'Neal

I feel like I was the only person who was capable of making this type of music in this type of way. I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.

Mos Def
