As an audience member, I like to watch what they're doing, and that's one of the reasons I love skating: because it's a performance, and I love to perform. That's my favorite aspect of skating.
Every year, you can depend on having at least a couple really exciting Nicole Kidman performances, and that's a rare thing.
I like to improve myself every day and whatever my performance, I will always believe I can do better.
If my performance touches someone or helps someone understand themselves a little better or gives them a laugh, I feel like I gave them something. I want to touch people's lives and bring them along with me.
I think that what 'Oz' did is it spawned a great generation of television production. But people know its place in television and just in great dramas. It's the foundation of my career. Most producers, show runners, directors, and casting directors put me in movies based on my performance in that show.
The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
Though all actors do not make good directors, Dhanush is really one of the finest. He knows exactly how to direct an actor to extract the performance the way he wants it. Perhaps that is happening because he is a performer himself.
People who can actually challenge me and push me and almost push me to breaking point and extract a performance out of me, I really enjoy that.
When you'e working with great actors, your performance also becomes better because you have such great energy in front of you.
I want somebody to push me and grill me and extract a performance out of me which nobody expects.
