How does one magnify a calling? Simply by performing the service that pertains to it.
I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.
Every American was to become a performing self.
I don't love performing, because it's nerve-racking and it's time - consuming to rehearse a whole set - and my time can often be better served writing music and just making it and putting it out.
I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have that in me to do it, the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. If there's a lot of people on a set, I get nervous. So music just wasn't something I ever seriously considered.
I'm getting bored performing the same songs over and over. Songwriting comes and goes.
I've been performing my whole life.
When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.
I love performing. I love being a provocateur. I love putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and that I have to get out of.
I definitely want to continue acting and performing.
When I'm performing, I hope my research and my experience with those things I'm talking about rings true.
I focused more on sharing my gift and performing than worrying about it being a competition.
I have people come onstage and ask me questions and I get to meet them. That's one of the reasons I like it. When you're performing, when you're doing your movies, they're not there with you.
I'm terrified of performing live.
The way I view touring and shows, for me, is that I really like playing, but that's not the thing that fuels me. I am much happier writing and recording. For me, performing is exclusively for other people. I let people write me to tell me what they want to hear. I'll play any of it.
The thing I've always liked about performing is that I decide what I want to wear, whether I want to comb my hair.
I decided to always sing in the back with the chorus and never went up front because I had trouble performing.
I've been performing live a long time, even before doing dance music clubs downtown. I used to watch clips of Beyoncé to learn how to perform in front of people. I got my jitters out in front of my friends.
I just always had a penchant for performing for people.I'm a jackass clown.
A huge portion of Trump voters are incredibly pleased with how he's performing. They see what they want to see.
My way into making movies - into making things is general - has been through performing.
All I have to concentrate on is my performing.
I don't personally feel comfortable performing in a comedy club, mainly because as an audience member, I've never enjoyed that experience. It feels a little bit theme-park-ish to me, in that it's a club whose product is comedy. I find that weird. It's like those specialty chocolate stores, where everything is chocolate. It's too specific. I like going somewhere that specializes in variety.
Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
Performing is always my biggest rush. The energy is boundless from a great crowd.
