A Quote by John de Lancie

When I did finally get to the circus as an adult, I was very impressed by the trapeze artist. But, being 6 feet 3 inches and over 200 pounds, there was no way I could do a trapeze act. If I fell I'd take the catcher with me.

I never got to see the circus... I was always in love with being a trapeze artist, though.

Keala Settle

[My job is] a very high trapeze act, frequently with no net.

Dan Rather

A circus of stars, your dreams a trapeze, faces lift like mirrored moons.

Imtiaz Dharker

Living as an actor is rather like living life on the trapezes in a circus. Every time you jump on, you have to pray that, when the time comes for you to jump off, there is another trapeze swinging your way.

Celia Imrie

In Cancun, they put me up on a trapeze bar and I was carried across the ceiling over 2,000 people.

Bridget Marquardt

I grew up in a bus, traveled with various circuses and freak shows. I was a trapeze artist, and that was my dream. We just traveled the whole world, me and my mom and my little brothers and sisters. It was an adventure.

Neon Hitch

Muhammad, my friend, I'm getting very scared. Teach me how to love my brothers who don't know the law, and what about the deal on the flying trapeze?

Tori Amos

I did a lot of trapeze stuff when I did 'Pippin' and continued to do it afterward. Flying is so fun, and I was used to the harness idea, but these harnesses are like intense, full bodysuit things.

Ciara Renee

The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.

Neon Hitch

At 200 pounds, with a 17-inch neck, a resting pulse of 78, a bench press of 200 pounds, I was very much indeed a normal, All-American male. I carried my sickness within.

Dirk Benedict

Trapeze is a great workout. It got me in the best shape in my life.

Bridget Marquardt

You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.

Bob Dylan

My mother was a Chinese trapeze artist in pre-war Paris Smuggling bombs for the underground. And she met my father at a fete in Aix-en-Provence; He was disguised as a Russian cadet in the employ of the Axis.

Colin Meloy

What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.

Gregory Peck

The hook is a word or an idea spoken by one character which gives the next character something to hook onto when he responds or, like a trapeze artist, gives him something to swing from on his way to another point of view.

Preston Sturges

As I look back on it now, I'm thinking of one very vital factor, that one factor being that I was afforded the luxury - the luxurious opportunity - of finally being able to put something back. As a child growing up, it was his [Frank Sinatra] efforts that put a roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back, and that got me an education and sent me to the doctor when I was sick. All those things a child could benefit from parent. I did not want to be in a position where all I had ever done was take, take, take, frankly.

Frank Sinatra, Jr.
