Words of Inspiration
You can't go wrong with a good quote. The following are some of
our favorites from the performance world. Some of them are great
to say to yourself just before you walk onstage, others maybe
should be saved for when you return to your seat after a blunder.
"When you perform, you are out of yourself, larger and
more potent, more powerful, more beautiful. You are for minutes
heroic. This is power. This is glory on earth. And it is yours
nightly."
-- Agnes De Mille
"The curtain is lifting. We can have triumph, or tragedy,
for we are the playwrights, the actors, and the audience."

"Applause. Enjoy it - but never quite believe it."
-- Robert Montgomery

"If I miss one day's practice, I notice it. If I miss
two days practice, the critics notice it. If I miss three days,
the audience notices it."
-- Ignance Paderewski
"Use what talent you possess. The woods would be a silent
place indeed if no birds sang but those that sang best. "
