I remember seeing 'Les Miserables' with the original cast - this was in '87 - and I was blown away by it.
I don't want people to look back at my matches and say, 'When you did that move, it was good, and I liked it because it was cool.' I want people to sort of remember a rush of images and the emotion that they felt when they saw it. That's when I think you have a real masterpiece in your hands.
It was a special show that became a cult classic of sorts, and I made a lot of money for it.
My job as a performer is to make sure that whatever happens in a performance lives in somebody else, that it's memorable... If you forget tomorrow what you heard yesterday, there's really not much point in you having been there - or me, for that matter.
People don't remember me for how high my legs went, even though they went up very high, and how many pirouettes I did. They don't remember me for that. They remember me and any other dancer because something touched them inside. It's an indelible memory on the heart and in the mind.
Be it the team or script, everything about 'Imaikkaa Nodigal' is special to me. The script is nothing like what I have done before.
I'm an actor in that I just want to create roles and characters and play parts that people remember and like or dislike or hate.
I auditioned for Lamorne Morris' part, Winston, on 'New Girl.' In the scene, the character was eating a mayonnaise sandwich. I thought, 'Nobody else is going to go into the audition eating, and this is how I'm gonna set myself apart.'
I remember as a student going to Covent Garden, where they took out the stall seats and you hunkered down on the floor - I heard Pavarotti in Tosca there, and the experience of being in that same room with that astonishing voice has never left me.
I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
Until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
Without question, dying on 'Lost' was the best thing I have ever done in my entire career.
I don't know if the character's come back and it was someone else playing it, or maybe they never did it again. But I loved it. It was a great part [The Joker] to play.
It's important what you can do for your team. Even if you score 30-40, if it contributes to team's victory, then it is always memorable.
I want to shake people up so bad, that when they leave a nightclub where I've performed, I just want them to be to pieces.
KISS hammered home the importance of high drama...I decided to design my show with the same goal; I wanted my fans to remember my show for the rest of their lives.
The part I like best was my role in 'Blood and Sand.' If I had died, I would have liked to be remembered as an actor by that role - I think it my greatest.
I don't have a dream role as such, but given a chance, I would want to play a historic role.
I remember quite well that 10,000 audience sang with us three on the spot, and ever since then, I always thought the Chinese audience are the greatest audience.
I produce the most exciting matches with pretty much any person on the roster. Pick any guy on the roster, and I can tell you a match I had with them that people can still remember.
If people liked your singing well enough, if you were special to them, then you never left their minds throughout all of the years.
I want to give my fans great fights to remember me by.
John Hurt was incredible to work with.
I just cannot do a boring film. It has to be interesting with a good character.
The most memorable performance was my appearance in concert in Carnegie Hall. The first standup to do so.
