Quotes by Performance The Joker is a tremendous vehicle for talented actors. Cesar Romero's was a bubbly, lunatic criminal. Nicholson did him as a vain, preening manipulator. Heath's performance of the Joker was remarkable, too. His was a low-simmering crazy street clown. Joker can be played all these ways, and they're all true. Paul Dini streettrueperformancecrazy Traditional performance reviews have passed their sell-by date. Big time. There's research showing that roughly two-thirds of performance appraisals have either no effect - or a negative effect! - on employee performance. Daniel H. Pink performanceresearchtimenegative There's a difference between expanding someone's potential and expanding their actual performance.

Dannel Malloy performancesomeoneeducationculture Bisping is a clean athlete, and it comes down to whether you're clean or not. I'm totally against the use of drugs and steroids in the UFC and any performance enhancing drugs. Shows a lot about someone's mental state if they have to do that. Darren Till downperformancesomeoneyou In order to sharpen its prediction skills, our brains constantly build models, or 'templates,' of the world. The better the template, the better the performance. And now we know playing action video game actually fosters better templates. Daphne Bavelier performancebettergameworld As a stunt guy, you become a mini-director. You're talking to actors about performance. David Leitch becomeperformanceyoutalking I've done scenes in films that I felt like the performance was better in certain takes, but they couldn't use them because it didn't match what the person was doing when they came around and the camera was on them. David Morse cameraperformancedoingbetter There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing. David Schwimmer controlnothingperformanceyou When you're doing characters from famous novels, you have a responsibility as an actor to make it what the writer intended. And then you add and expand from there to create a three-dimensional performance. David Suchet performancedoingyouresponsibility When I look at a leader, I look at someone who is able to get exceptional performance out of others. Debra L. Reed performancesomeonelookleader Clearly in my mind, I have two distinct positions - owner and manager. So I am open to reviewing my performance as a manager as any other person in Sun Pharma. Dilip Shanghvi i-amperformancemindsun I heard a lot about Ian Botham's Ashes, in 1981. Everybody still talks about his performance.

Donald Wolfit quiteseensayperformance Cheer for your teammates, regardless of whether they're fast or slow, veteran or neophyte, varsity or JV.

Derek Cianfrance performancethinkmemusic I always wanted to experience what performance would be like without the fourth wall, so I formed a company in Australia, and we did avant-garde theater, playing with gender norms, conversations about race - we just had a box of issues that we wanted to subvert with our stories, with dance. DeObia Oparei performancegenderexperiencedance I've done three Broadway shows; once the curtain goes up, that's it. I mean, you prepare and you rehearse like crazy, but after opening night, the director's not there anymore, you know. He gives you notes during previews after each performance, but opening night, you're on your own. Dennis Christopher performanceyoucrazynight«678910111213141516»
