I'm always happy and most at home on the stage. I love film and television, but I love live performance... your immediacy with the audience, it makes all the difference in the world.Tamara Tunie

Making a record? You've got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs.Tom Petty

Everything will be seen on your computer or BlackBerry or whatever devices we will be seeing in the future. Comedians will put their content on whatever server and send it to you specifically. We may even lose the live performance.George Lopez
Copy
There is something about a live performance that you just cannot replicate anywhere else. Live streaming has been wonderful but it's just not same as sitting there and experiencing that electricity, with a group of other people that you don't even know and all being brought together.Carrie Hope Fletcher
Copy
I thought the world of live performance and busking was where I was going to thrive. I had no idea that digital streaming platforms and radio and that world would be for me, you know?Tones and I

I think that there is such power with the live performance of it - so much of what 'Motown' is about is the live performance aspect, really. The power of our production is really the music and the performances.Brandon Victor Dixon
Copy
Whether you are a writer or an actor or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That's what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else.Lee Hall

I also think something that makes the whole live performance fun for me is that I love my music.GRiZ
Copy
The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.Gwyneth Paltrow

A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock 'n roll, hosting, acting - it's the same thing.Chris Jericho
Copy
We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.John Cale
Copy
My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd.Wiz Khalifa
Copy
I love live performance and have huge admiration for people who can really do it. It's the same with music: I'll play a record and think that I'm not really into country or ragga. But, if it's live and the musicians are good, I'll listen to pretty much anything.Helen McCrory
Copy
I was always more interested in the ultimate live performance rather than the recording for its own sake. And, for the audience too, that thrill of - just being there.Ian Anderson
Copy
I was once an extra in a Bruce Springsteen video where they did a live performance video at Tramps. I forget the name of the song.Idina Menzel
Copy
I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.Jane Krakowski
Copy
I love, love, love live performance. It's like walking a tightrope without the net. You better be on point; you better be balanced. You better have rehearsed it and seen it from every vantage so you can do what you do best. I do love film because it's up front in your face, and hopefully you've got a great editor.Sheryl Lee Ralph
Copy
I love watching live shows from different artists from different stages of their lives. I'm always interested in the mastery of the live performance.Stjepan Hauser
Copy
I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.Sam Mendes
Copy
The real test of a musician is live performance. It's one thing to spend a long time learning how to play well in the studio, but to do it in front of people is what keeps me coming back to touring.Neil Peart
Copy
I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.Saul Williams
Copy
I do an improv show on Sunday where we have a class, and then afterwards we go and do a live performance in front of an audience.Nolan Gould

From the business point of view - not to overstate it - intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.Esther Dyson
Copy
Helping set the day's agenda and deciding what we used and editing it, that was a journalistic high point. I liked reporting as well. Just doing the news - the live performance - wasn't important. Working on the desk was.Walter Cronkite
Copy
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.Renee Fleming
Copy
I used to be a drummer in a band, and I really loved playing the drums, so I look forward to the right opportunity to do that at some point. Maybe even on TV. Every single live performance I'm doing on TV, I want it to be different and unique.Zedd
Copy
In most cases, my favorite Jethro Tull songs will be determined by how I feel about them as live performance songs, not by the recorded identity.Ian Anderson
Copy
As a musician, I have always strived for my albums and live performance to render a sound as close as possible to perfection.Jean-Michel Jarre

The best voice actors all have a live performance background. And are competent, fearless, incredibly creative actors.Rob Paulsen

Get out of your house and go see some live performance, for God's sake. There are people creating things just outside your window.Maria Bamford
Copy
I grew up loving David Letterman and Pee-wee Herman, but as far as live performance comedy, all I knew were the Jerry Seinfeld-type comedians of the world, and that's what I thought live performance comedy was all about.Scott Aukerman
Copy
A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.Shreya Ghoshal
Copy
There is something about the live performance of an orchestra that makes it very different to a film. With a film, you can rewrite it in a way with the material you have, and in rehearsals, you're really trying out different things. In an orchestra, you can't do that. They separate as soon as the performance factor comes into play.Gael Garcia Bernal
Copy
My first live performance was when I was in the military. I went to some bar, and they had open mics. You could just sign up and perform. Nobody cared. Nobody liked it.JPEGMAFIA

I love every aspect of live performance and putting our shows together and approaching it from the standpoint of, 'What would we want to see if we were a fan sitting in the audience?'Jay DeMarcus
Copy
For me, the first thing I fell madly in love with when I was little, was, Gilda Radner had this live performance that she had done at the Met that was on tape, and I could rent it from Video Video in New Jersey where I lived, and so I literally would rent it every two weeks.Jessica St. Clair
Copy
I come from theater and captured theater has a bad rap of being never what the live performance was.Marielle Heller
Copy
Every acting gig isn't the same, every writing job isn't the same, every live performance isn't the same - the challenge is the level of difficulty or ease, and that may vary.Ricky Jay
Copy
I just love when you're watching a live performance and the artist brings people out on stage: the surprise, the energy you feel in the room, it genuinely makes you feel alive.Amelia Dimoldenberg
Copy
I like a performance, a live performance, so I like little mistakes because that's what makes perfect - the mistakes.Jorja Smith
Copy
For some artists the live performance is the chicken before the egg of writing or recording of repertoire. For other artists the writing or recording of repertoire is the chicken before the egg of live performance.Frank Black

Artificial intelligence is taking over a lot of things. Jobs are going to go but artists and theatre are not going anywhere because it is live performance.Puneet Issar

I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we'd donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.Dan Hawkins
Copy
Live performance really terrifies me. I haven't done it, really, in years. I think that's why I retired from my brief career in stand-up.Mindy Kaling
Copy
The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions.Rodney Atkins
Copy
When somebody is making a movie about your life, that's different. A show is a live performance. Things are going to go wrong. You are going to get away with things. A movie is indelible. A movie is through a microscope.Frankie Valli
Copy
I had a really great performance with Steven Tyler in the movie 'Be Cool.' I performed 'Cryin',' so we recorded the song beforehand. But I didn't get to meet him until I hit the stage with him, and we had a live performance with 30,000 people in the audience, and that was for the movie.Christina Milian
