The performance on the stage has its reasons in the performance induced in thousands of separate minds and this second performance is no less prodigious than the first.

Domenico Gnoli

I won the speech competition in class, and I always say this was my first 'spoken word performance.' It was the first time I got on stage and recited something. I fell in love with the stage at the age of 12.

Rupi Kaur

I think my first-ever car was a Chevrolet, 1960.

Alan Mulally

The stage is my first love. It gives me immense self-satisfaction, a sort of power because a stage actor carries the audience along; it's a live performance; spontaneity is its soul.

Himani Shivpuri

To this day, to this very day, except for television, I've never had a writer. Anything I've ever done on the stage, happened on the stage and I developed it from there. It started doing impressions and jokes - which I did very poorly. To this day I can't tell a joke. That sounds nuts, but it's true. I exaggerate it and it becomes a joke. Everything I've ever done I've done out on the stage and it became a performance over many many years.

Don Rickles

My first stage performance was when I was just four.

Shamna Kasim

Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?

Agatha Christie

If you go on stage with the wrong attitude, or something in your performance is off, you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.

Allan Carr

You should make an effort on stage because it's a performance. The stage should be glittery and camp, but I don't go down the shops in full stage gear.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

In 1960, John F. Kennedy rode a superior televised debate performance to victory over Richard Nixon.

Fabrizio Moreira

You will always worry - a wee lad from Edinburgh going up on stage in Glasgow.

Iain Stirling

Live performance is everything. First of all, I have terrible stage fright. But beyond that, once the music starts, it's OK.

Fantastic Negrito

I try and avoid the big comics in Edinburgh. You can see them on tour. Edinburgh is all about seeing the smaller comedians.

Joe Lycett

I love being on stage. There's nothing better than that feeling; ever since the first time I was on stage, I was like, 'Oh, this is what it means to be fully alive and satisfied.' I don't think anything's as satisfying as a play.
