“I'm one of those pathetic actors who will say yes to every play reading just because I do miss the stage so much. What I really miss about the theater is that in the end, it's yours to give. In television and film, it's yours to do and someone else's to take and someone else's to give. As much as I love television - the biggest luxury of all is to know that you have a job to go to - I do miss that connection and having that power over my own performance on stage.” KnowsGivingEndsPlayJobsFilmReadingActorsMy OwnStageMissingTelevisionConnectionsPerformancesTheaterLuxuryPathetic Author:Julianna Margulies
“The connection between health and productivity at work is intuitively obvious but has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of either researchers or corporate financial officers. Ronald Kessler and Paul Stang help to bridge the usual gap between research and the marketplace with the help of a top-notch group of the best 'real-world' investigators obtainable-all in the cause of making the case that employee health should be treated as an investment in business performance-thus creating the new discipline of health and productivity management.” WorldShouldRealHelpingCausesCasesGroupsDisciplineCreatingResearchConnectionsPerformancesManagementInvestmentFinancialSatisfactionObviousProductivityTreatedCorporateBridgesEmployeeGapsReal WorldOfficersUsualMarketplaceResearchersInvestigatorsNotchesTop Notch Author:Sean Sullivan
“One's worth and self-regard ought to come from individual competitive performance, not from group identity. Pride based on clan or tribal connections is atavistic.

“As I see it, the major requirements for a strong and able rendering are an understanding of a work's structure, voicing, and trajectory; an ability to execute the details on the page from largest to smallest; technical command, and hopefully a connection with the overall expressive impulse (though the latter is not at all necessary to give a good performance).” GivingAbleStrongUnderstandingAbilityMajorsPagesConnectionsPerformancesStructureDetailsCommandHopefullyImpulseLatterSmallestRequirementsExpressiveRenderingTrajectory Author:Michael Hersch

“I studied acting and there's certainly an element of performance. I think that the songs are in many ways written to be performed. I think about what it's going to be like to sing them on stage rather than what it's going to be like to have someone at home listening to them on a CD. I guess in that way there's a connection between my acting experience and the songwriting and the way the songs are written.” ThinkingWayHomeSongActingWrittenStageListeningElementsConnectionsPerformancesSongwritingCds Author:Loudon Wainwright III

“No matter what, I will always prefer a live performance. Whether it be a play or a musical, or playing music live. As long as it's live, it's the best because there's sort of an immediacy to connection between an audience and a performer, whereas where you do film or television, you're at the whim of so many different forces.” LongDifferentMatterPlayFilmForceAudienceTelevisionConnectionsPerformancesNo Matter WhatMusicalPerformersPlaying MusicWhimImmediacyLive Performance Author:Darren Criss
“And it occurred to me that in this new millennial life of instant and ubiquitous connection, you don't in fact communicate so much as leave messages for one another, these odd improvisational performances, often sorry bits and samplings of ourselves that can't help but seem out of context. And then when you do finally reach someone, everyone's so out of practice or too hopeful or else embittered that you wonder if it would be better not to attempt contact at all.” IfsFactsHelpingSeemsWould BeBitsWonderPracticeMessagesConnectionsPerformancesSorryCommunicateContactOddInstantHopefulLeaving MeMillennialsOf ContextSampling Author:Chang-Rae Lee
