When I used to watch vaudevillian impressionists, people like Rich Little or Frank Gorshin, I always felt like the voice was the only point. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to be of the Robin Williams or Jonathan Winters model, where observation and storytelling was important.

Frank Caliendo

Pop concerts create an audience for Pops concerts, not an audience for classical symphonic concerts.

Sir Mix-a-Lot

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

Fran Drescher

I followed Evan's career through the '90s and went to many Lemonheads concerts in N.Y.C. Since he was my best friend's family, he always felt like my family in a weird way.

Adam F. Goldberg

I always tell my audiences not to listen to such artists who play audio CDs at their concerts. Such shows shouldn't be called live shows. People like AR Rahman, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Arijit Singh are the ones who hold true concerts.

Guru Randhawa

Language is like music; we rejoice in beauty, range, and quality in both, and we are demeaned by the repetition of a few sour notes.

Spencer W. Kimball

We note the increasing coarseness of language and understand how Lot must have felt when he was, according to Peter, "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked." (2 Peter2:7.) We wonder why those of coarse and profane conversation, even if they refuse obedience to God's will, are so stunted mentally that they let their capacity to communicate grow more and more narrow. Language is like music; we rejoice in beauty, range, and quality in both, and we are demeaned by the repetition of a few sour notes.

Spencer W. Kimball

Real estate was one of the first things I was doing. I kinda like mistakenly fell into that. I bought a house early in my career, and in my head, it was like, if everything goes wrong, I own this one house, you know... As I started doing concerts and more concerts, I started buying more houses.

Yo Gotti

I go to metal concerts as well as classical concerts, and I love both of them.

Tarja Turunen

I've attended many concerts where I felt let down and I was wishing it would be something else. Not that it's their duty to please me, but at the same time, I think a lot about what it's like through the eyes of the consumer, the fan. I want not to pander to the audience, but to be aware of them.

Trent Reznor

I aim to please. I'm nothing if not a vaudevillian.

Craig Ferguson

I come from a very vaudevillian family.

Toni Basil

I've been told by a lot of people after concerts that they felt the show was just for them. And I try to make it that way.

Barbara Mandrell

When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events - collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors - because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.

Neil Tennant

It's easy to get distracted by the vaudevillian aspects of the healthcare debate.

Carl Hiaasen

I went to a concert once when I was a little kid and ran up onstage, started dancing, started saying anything that came to my head. I was like a little vaudevillian.
