There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.

If you want to do something, then you do it. If you don't want to do something, don't just do it because your friends are doing it, or because all the popular kids are doing it.

Our friends are generally ready to do everything for us, except the very thing we wish them to do.

Giving a good performance, giving it all is what it's all about. I love to perform.

We're all performing for someone.

We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.

Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I'd be very happy. It's not my favorite thing to do.

Never promise more than you can perform.

Performing is a profound experience, at least for me.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.
