I think acoustic performances and full, live performances are always cool in different ways.

Gabby Barrett

I've always believed that the stories and the performances are more important than I am. I think that the more invisible that my hand is, the more attention people can pay to the story and to those performances.

Edward Zwick

My favourite performances are by actresses like Bette Davis in 'All About Eve' or Gena Rowlands in pretty much anything - performances that have nothing to do with age.

Winona Ryder

What I found about 'Nashville' coming in is it's about these small performances. It can be on a big stage but detailed, small, heartfelt, real performances from musicians and singers. So if you try to do something bloated or showy, the directors dial us in and let us know.

Chip Esten

My records are one thing. My live performances are something totally different because they're very improvised performances.

Dianne Reeves

I think that my performances with Led Zeppelin got better with each performance and I think that our performances as Led Zeppelin Experience have also gotten better with each show.

Jason Bonham

When I meet someone who I really admire, I enjoy nothing more than trying to connect with them and asking them about their career. I want to know who the people are behind the performances and how they relate to their performances. But it's maybe not as novel as it once was.

Jack Reynor

Of course there are some actors that are better than others and performances that are better than others, but they're always embedded in the greater film. They are mediated through the work of so many other people: the director directs, the lighter sets the scene, the editors edit, the music gets put to it.

James Franco

I don't understand why people don't use improvisation, especially in comedy films, but also, for me, you get more naturalism, and that's why I like the naturalistic performances and strange rhythms and the way that people genuinely interact captured rather than sort of very mannered performances.

Alice Lowe

Piano performances by Condoleezza Rice are better than Hitler's paintings.

Evgeni Kostitsyn

Instead of rating the man by his performances, we rate too frequently the performances by the man.

Samuel Johnson

Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.

Sachin Tendulkar

The Evolution of Greatness' was an amazing experience, and it's something that we hope to have been a steppingstone for us to come back and not only do more NBA All-Star performances, but do halftime performances at events like the Super Bowl.

Black Thought

I'm never happy with my performances. I always want more and better for myself.

Samir Nasri

This play John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln holds the season's record, thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence, it ran just five performances too many.

Dorothy Parker

But I can't say that I didn't like John Hammond's performances often better than the originals.

Warren Zevon
