There's something about small venues that's amazing for developing material. It's almost like you can not only hear people's response, but you can understand it. In bigger venues you lose that, but you gain this sense of camaraderie in the audience.

The Beatles realized that what they were making in the studio could never be performed. And they had already given up on performing because there were too many screaming fans and they were playing in larger and larger venues so they couldn't even hear what they were playing, it just wasn't any fun any more.

Tod Machover

I love playing anyone that does stuff that I don't do. The fun of playing an assassin is that I've never killed anybody. The fun of playing a brilliant musician is that I don't actually play any instruments.

Eric McCormack

I really like to do small venues. They're more intimate.

Denny Laine

As far as dream venues, I've played all the venues I'd love to play.

Kevin Morby

You know, I play in small, intimate venues; I'm not an arena performer.

Sondre Lerche

It never bothers me playing huge venues; it's not personal, is it?

Shaun Ryder

I'm a fan of small venues that showcase emerging talent in the most organic way.

Pedro Capo

I guess my earliest football memories are of playing in the street and also the little pitches at school. I joined the local football team in my village when I was small, but we would play only once or twice a week. I honed my skills just by playing for fun with friends after school.

Arjen Robben

We're thrilled to play an offbeat place. Our music fits with it. I love playing unusual venues.

Taylor Goldsmith

Back in the early 1980s when rappers couldn't perform in the fancy venues because the police were too racist and scared, it was the punk venues letting them in to perform.

Comedy can be fun no matter what you're playing small or big comedy part. It always has the potential to be a blast.

Ty Burrell

In L.A., we played rock venues because we had a band, which hip-hop venues couldn't accommodate. And within that, we created a show which we could put on in front of anybody.

Taboo

It was fun playing a horrible, snotty kid in 'Harry Potter', and then playing Prince Charming where I was also singing and playing guitar, and then playing a completely different character.

Freddie Stroma

As much as only playing clubs can become tedious, performing in huge venues can also become off-putting. To go from one to the other feels great. And sometimes playing clubs can be even more stressful, because you really have to think about what you're going to tell the audience between songs.

Stromae

Americans are opting out of public venues like the playground and the sidewalk for private venues like the healthclub and the mall. We're living our lives inside one form of corporation or another.
