We have all, at one time or another, been performers, and many of us still are - politicians, playboys, cardinals and kings.
You think you're an artist; prove it
We ape, we mimic, we mock. We act.
Don't waste your time striving for perfection; instead, strive for excellence - doing your best.
Lead the audience by the nose to the thought.
No matter how well you perform, there's always somebody of intelligent opinion who thinks it's lousy.
