Fire Performers

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or performers:

“The sky it seems would pour down stinking pitch,
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin’s cheek,
Dashes the fire out.”

“The reason I’m in this business, I assume all performers are—it’s “Look at me, Ma!” It’s acceptance, you know—”Look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma.” And if your mother watches, you’ll show off till you’re exhausted; but if your mother goes, Ptshew!”
