I so wanted to perform, and I grasped every opportunity.
I've worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.
I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.
Performing is the easiest part of what I do, and songwriting is the hardest.
I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing.
So I went into jazz and performed in jazz clubs all over the country.
In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.
When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.
You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.
Self-consciousness can destroy a performance. Getting rid of that is always good.
The constant fear of a performer is to become what is reflected back at you.
A woman who places a high priority on performance and excellence is seen as imperial. A man is seen as demanding and tough.
Dance every performance as if it were your last.
Let your performance do the thinking.
I was a late bloomer. I wasn't a child performer.
Before every performance I feel nervous.
The truth is, a director wins an Oscar for a writer's script and actors' performances.
I respect very much my public and also the music I perform.
Performing written music, even when I've written it, is not very interesting to me.
All I ever wanted was to perform, make music, make videos.
