Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.
Ernest Hemingway, American Novelist (1899-1961)
I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.
Damon Hill, British Athlete (1960-  )
Some books claim I have already clocked up a century of Grands Prix, but let me put the record straight. Australia will be my 100th start, and I aim to mark the milestone with a cracking performance. It could even be celebrated with a victory.
Damon Hill, British Athlete (1960-  )
I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.

Jean Houston, American Author (1937-  )
The president's poking fun at himself over what goes down. I thought it was a good-natured performance. It made him look good. But he certainly doesn't disguise the record on weapons of mass destruction. And you feel like saying to people, Just get over it.
Brit Hume, American Journalist (1943-  )
Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.

Joseph Jarman, American Musician (1937-  )
Nobody has milked one performance better than me - and I'm damned proud of it.
Bruce Jenner, American Athlete (1949-  )
Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.
Billy Joel, American Musician (1949-  )
Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
Roland Joffe, English Director (1945-  )
Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.
Samuel Johnson, English Author (1709-1784)
A performance is only as good as the audience you are playing to. A lot of times you feed off of the audience, and we always try to give them all we've got and sometimes you don't get a lot back, but we've never been dead whenever we've performed.
Kelly Jones, Welsh Musician (1974-  )
Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will.
