#perform

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter. ↗

Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose. ↗

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard. ↗

I love performing on stage the most. It's getting that instant reaction from a live audience. There are no boundaries, you can take your character as far as you want to, you can be the craziest person ever. ↗

I put on such a good show, the story is outrageous, and people don't want to hear that I'm basically a reasonable human being. As long as it continues to get me print, I'll continue to perform in an exuberant manner. ↗

One of the things I like about performing on the stage is that it is a kind of meditative experience. Time does stand still. You have no concept or feeling of the passing of two or three hours' time. It's all kind of one present moment, which is a kind of a description of meditation. ↗

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications. ↗

I've always wanted to stay involved with young people. I never bought into the idea that entertainers owe nothing to their audience except a good performance. ↗

The obsession with performance left no room for the development of the intuitive or spiritual impact of space and form other than the aesthetic of the machine itself. ↗

Further, Take heed that you faithfully perform the business you have to do in the world, from a regard to the commands of God; and not from an ambitious desire of being esteemed better than others. ↗
