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've been a live performer longer than I've been a television performer. For me, live is where it's at.

Criss Angel

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 am a street performer as much as I am a stage performer. Yes, I have a television show, but every trick, every 'Mindfreak' you see, I can do live.

Criss Angel

To me, diva means an extraordinary, outrageously theatrical, brilliant performer.

Roger Taylor

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

Taj Mahal

These are not necessarily our agendas, but we feel a part of what a performer is, and what a performer has to say is more than just words and music.

Kenneth Ehrlich

It's great to watch someone get the most out of what they can do, whether they're a beautiful performer or just a really gritty performer. It's something to behold.

John Turturro

And at the same time, you are of course a performer, but it's very important that you understand that your role as a performer is to get the best performance from those wonderful colleagues that you have the chance to work with.

Michael Tilson Thomas

Am I a frustrated performer? My wife would say I am! I guess there has to be something of the performer in you if you build a global business.

Lloyd Dorfman

It's always been impressive to me when someone can really do what they want onstage. The audience has confidence in the performer and the performer has confidence in the crowd.

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

When you talk about the exchange of energy between performer and audience and audience and performer, I hope that I'm one of the best.

Raheem DeVaughn

If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play.

Alice Cooper

When I get hired as an actor as opposed to a writer, one of things that's exciting for me is doing stuff I wouldn't normally do myself. So whether it's a kid's movie or a voice in animation or in this case - where I just get to be silly, it's a different kind of comedy for me. As a performer, it's a different pleasure than when you're writing or directing. As a performer, you're just in the hands of the director and you go with whatever they want to do.

Stephen Merchant

A performer may be taken in by his own act, convinced at the moment that the impression of reality which he fosters is the one and only reality. In such cases we have a sense in which the performer comes to be his own audience; he comes to be performer and observer of the same show. Presumably he introcepts or incorporates the standards he attempts to maintain in the presence of others so that even in their absence his conscience requires him to act in a socially proper way.

Erving Goffman
