If you're looking to freelance, just get as many gigs going as you can, and you can make it work. It's about getting as many side projects as possible, keeping as many balls in the air as you can, and what you're doing, basically, is diversifying your portfolio, with the same kinds of rewards. One falls through, and you still have another one to work on. ~ Chris Hardwick
Gigs quotes by Chris Hardwick
As a fanboy myself, one of the fun things about the gig has been every time I get a new script, I get to find out more about his day - to-day life and what goes on and what his relationships are. ~ Clark Gregg
Gigs quotes by Clark Gregg
Live comedy's a very reckless, foolhardy profession. You're only as good as your last gig so earnings fluctuate. ~ Bill Bailey
Gigs quotes by Bill Bailey
Every time I do a gig, my goal is getting new fans. ~ Sharon Jones
Gigs quotes by Sharon Jones
I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. ~ John Lydon
Gigs quotes by John Lydon
I shined off high school band, marching, jazz studies. At the time I was too cool for school, I had this professional gig and I was going home taking a shower and heading to downtown Hawaii, Waikiki. ~ Eric Hernandez
Gigs quotes by Eric Hernandez
The wave of pure outrage blindsided me. I shouldn't be here, I thought. This is utterly fucked up. I should have been sitting in a garden down the road, barefoot with a drink in my hand, swapping the day's work stories with Peter and Jamie. I had never thought about this before, and it almost knocked me over: all the things we should have had. We should have stayed up all night together studying and stressing out before exams, Peter and I should have argued over who got to bring Jamie to our first dance and slagged her about how she looked in her dress. We should have come weaving home together, singing and laughing and inconsiderate, after drunken college nights. We could have shared a flat, taken off Interrailing around Europe, gone arm-in-arm through dodgy fashion phases and low-rent gigs and high-drama love affairs. Two of us might have been married by now, given the other one a godchild. I had been robbed blind. ~ Tana French
Gigs quotes by Tana French
I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places. ~ David Bowie
Gigs quotes by David Bowie
People have said I played some pretty amazing gigs in the seventies, but in all honesty, I probably played one good show in three. ~ Joe Cocker
Gigs quotes by Joe Cocker
After 'X Factor,' I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase - splurge and see that it's worthless - to get it out of my system. ~ Rebecca Ferguson
Gigs quotes by Rebecca Ferguson
People recognize me all the time now, and there's lots of autograph hunting and smiling. But then I get to play gigs, which are amazing. It's a good job. ~ Lily Allen
Gigs quotes by Lily Allen
Chocolate thickens the saliva, which isn't good news if you've gotta recite Shakespeare or sing Iron Man. Having said that, you're not supposed to drink tea either but I still do before gigs. It's not very rock and roll, but it's like a magic potion to me. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Gigs quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
As my wife says, I'll never fully retire, but it'll start to slow down. I'll continue to do the local gigs or go to Las Vegas. But I won't be going out to Ohio to play an Indian casino anymore. Those will probably go by the wayside. ~ Bill Engvall
Gigs quotes by Bill Engvall
Your wig steers the gig. ~ Lord Buckley
Gigs quotes by Lord Buckley
I have a hard time waking up. No alarm clock works! It sounds childish, but I seriously have my manager, my mom or a buddy of mine wake me up if I have to be somewhere. It's a serious issue! I've been very late for some serious gigs because of it! ~ Jesse McCartney
Gigs quotes by Jesse McCartney
I was used to hanging out late after playing a gig - you mix adrenaline with alcohol and you can stay up all night. ~ Kurt Vile
Gigs quotes by Kurt Vile
Obviously I still gig on my own, but I've always heard my music with a band. ~ George Ezra
Gigs quotes by George Ezra
The hour on stage is rarely a drag. In fact, I can't really say that its ever a drag. The few times that its been challenging has been when you don't have a sympathetic audience or there is the occasional strange corporate gig or something that you take or that you're not sure and you're like, "Wait a second. That's just the wrong venue". ~ Joel Plaskett
Gigs quotes by Joel Plaskett
I wasn't very big on going to school. I tried to get a gig as a luthier. ~ Yngwie Malmsteen
Gigs quotes by Yngwie Malmsteen
I saw my first gig here actually (Festival Hall in Brisbane) Duran Duran. ~ Bernard Fanning
Gigs quotes by Bernard Fanning
With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before. ~ Ron Wood
Gigs quotes by Ron Wood
Why not go down the pub? A guy once came up to me at a gig and asked me if I had MySpace. I said, 'This is my space, and you're invading it.' ~ Paul Weller
Gigs quotes by Paul Weller
The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could. ~ Bill Wyman
Gigs quotes by Bill Wyman
In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs. ~ Beck
Gigs quotes by Beck
I've had the pleasure of working closely with Marc Von Em as a singer, but when I heard his original stuff, I asked him to open up a 10,000 seat gig. Just him, his guitar, and his songs. He killed it! ~ Rob Thomas
Gigs quotes by Rob Thomas
Luce blushed. "Then what kind of angel are you?"
"I'm sort of in between gigs right now," Daniel said. ~ Lauren Kate
Gigs quotes by Lauren Kate
Just to be around that, to feel a part of it and be able to integrate the experience while I was with the Messengers, of going and playing gigs with other drummers, gave me the chance to realize that it was not just me that was making it happen. ~ Benny Green
Gigs quotes by Benny Green
The worst gig story I have is from a club in Alabama that I think is still up and running, so I won't name the name of the club. We got hired in there to play, and the owner was pretty annoying. He kept coming up to me during the show and asking me to play 'Purple Rain.' ~ Jason Aldean
Gigs quotes by Jason Aldean
I don't remember what was going through my mind, but what was going through my body was fear and terror. I had been on the road with Johnny and working gigs and playing a lot of the organ clubs. ~ John Abercrombie
Gigs quotes by John Abercrombie
Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there. ~ Jules Shear
Gigs quotes by Jules Shear
I have been passed over on some things because people didn't think I was edgy enough. But the people who took those gigs are gone now, and I am still here. ~ Bill Engvall
Gigs quotes by Bill Engvall
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs. ~ Van Morrison
Gigs quotes by Van Morrison
Donald Rumsfeld also lost his gig last week. When asked what his future plans are, Rumsfeld said, 'What's a plan?' ~ Bill Maher
Gigs quotes by Bill Maher
I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion. ~ Kenny G
Gigs quotes by Kenny G
The anxiety of not knowing what my next gig is keeps me hungry. ~ Ben Schwartz
Gigs quotes by Ben Schwartz
The truly incredible thing is were realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time. ~ Stevie Nicks
Gigs quotes by Stevie Nicks
One way and another I was having a ball - playing gigs, jamming and listening to fine musicians. Then came a crisis at home. My stepfather fell sick, and it meant I had to support the family. ~ Mary Lou Williams
Gigs quotes by Mary Lou Williams
He was about to pocket a list of local sanitariums when he heard "Traitor," and saw Mickey and Herman Gerstein standing a few feet away. Cohen with a clean shot, but a half dozen witnesses spoiling his chance. Buzz said, "I suppose this means my guard gig's kaput. Huh, Mick?" The man looked hurt as much as he looked mad. "Goyishe shitheel traitor. Cocksucker. Communist. How much money did I give you? How much money did I set up for you that you should do me like you did?" Buzz said, "Too much, Mick." "That is no smart answer, you fuck. You should beg. You should beg that I don't do you slow." "Would it help?" "No." "There you go, boss." Mickey said, "Herman, leave this room"; Gerstein exited. The typers kept typing and the clerks kept clerking. Buzz gave the little hump's cage a rattle. "No hard feelin's, huh?" Mickey said, "I will make you a deal, because when I say "deal," it is always to trust. Right?" "Trust" and "deal" were the man's bond-it was why he went with him instead of Siegel or Dragna. "Sure, Mick." "Send Audrey back to me and I will not hurt a hair on her head and I will not do you slow. Do you trust my word?" "Yes." "Do you trust I'll get you?" "You're the oddson favorite, boss." "Then be smart and do it." "No deal. Take care, Jewboy. I'll miss you. I really will. ~ James Ellroy
Gigs quotes by James Ellroy
They need to practice harder," he said. 'If they're really going to do this, they need to work much harder.'
'They will," I assured him. 'But they got better, right?'
Baz laughed. 'Are you going to stand in front of them during their gigs too? If so, make sure you get equal billing. People will pay a lot to see the girl with the broom. ~ Antony John
Gigs quotes by Antony John
Mary Gauthier's great. Yeah, we've played a lot of gigs together. She's really wonderful. ~ Guy Clark
Gigs quotes by Guy Clark
I do... to this day, think that success is being able to look in the mirror and know that I'm alright on that day. I don't believe I've made it–I believe that I'm making it. I believe that I've found my past so that I can live in the present, it's the most important thing to me. The books and the plays and the touring and the gigs and the speeches and the cash...it all pales into insignificance when compared with knowing that I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm going to be okay now. ~ Lemn Sissay
Gigs quotes by Lemn Sissay
I started as a drummer, so I sort of took on singing duties by default. I had sung backgrounds and some lead vocals from behind the drums in different bands that I'd been in, and I'd gotten great responses for the songs I would sing. I really started pursuing the possibility of being a lead singer based on the fact that I was working a full-time restaurant job and then playing gigs at night, hauling drums around. One day, it just dawned on me that, 'Hey, I could be in a band and be the singer, and it would be a lot easier!' ~ Chris Cornell
Gigs quotes by Chris Cornell
I would say, you can never do enough gigs and you can never do enough songs. Make sure that every opportunity you can, play a show and every opportunity you can, write a song. ~ Ed Sheeran
Gigs quotes by Ed Sheeran
And in fact the only way I can deal with this eerie situation at all is to make a conscious decision that I have already lived and finished the life I planned to live - and everything from now on will be A New Life, a different thing, a gig that ends tonight and starts tomorrow morning. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gigs quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Every time I'm not on a project, I'm writing or in the studio or doing gigs DJing. ~ Taryn Manning
Gigs quotes by Taryn Manning
Forty years ago, my life in music was substantially different to today. I went out every night with my guitar seeking a place to sing, a floor on which to lie, some love, some food, a lot of wine. There was no business, no gigs, no questions, no P.R., recording, life was simpler, I was poor and young and hungry. Today I am a lot more focused on The Song. ~ Christy Moore
Gigs quotes by Christy Moore
My stand-up is quite good now, people say. It's just like a big conversation each time. Every gig is a rehearsal. ~ Eddie Izzard
Gigs quotes by Eddie Izzard
For example, instead of being asked to write an article, suddenly editors wanted me to make super-short videos. The assumptions of those video gigs was that kids don't read as much news and basically need to be read to, which I found really problematic and kind of insulting. I thought, Isn't it just that you don't have any money and that's why you want me to make some crappy "content" for your website? ~ Astra Taylor
Gigs quotes by Astra Taylor
I was playing in bands and doing gigs from the age of 14 on. I stopped at the age of 28. Technology replaced me. As soon as I saw what computers can do, I didn't think there would be a point for a live drummer. ~ Mitchell Joachim
Gigs quotes by Mitchell Joachim
When you're a regular on a TV show, they give you more of a backstory, so with these recurring gigs, you have to make up your own backstory. ~ Alan Dale
Gigs quotes by Alan Dale
I learned a lot from playing those late-night, 1-to-4 A.M. gigs with my band, and playing when no one was listening. ~ Rachel Platten
Gigs quotes by Rachel Platten
The worst thing about the life of a jazz musician on the road is getting to the gig. Once you're there and playing, it's marvelous. ~ Dave Brubeck
Gigs quotes by Dave Brubeck
When I do stand-up for a long time, I'll get burned out, then I'll get an acting gig. For me, the grass is always greener. I'd like to do a mixture of all of it. My goal is just to do small movies that I've written. That's what I'm trying to do now, just write smaller movies. ~ Zach Galifianakis
Gigs quotes by Zach Galifianakis
There are a lot of women at my gigs. The first show I headlined was a sea of women, which I can't complain about. I'm pleased these 18-year-old girls like my music. ~ Tom Odell
Gigs quotes by Tom Odell
I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand. ~ Ringo Starr
Gigs quotes by Ringo Starr
As hardware doubles its density every 18-24 months, courtesy of Moore's Law, and as software eats the world, technology will replace a broad swathe of jobs outright - from burger-flippers to diagnosticians - and atomize many others from full-time positions into gigs performed by many fungible workers. Tech, in short, will eat jobs. ~ Jon Evans
Gigs quotes by Jon Evans
Life is about women, gigs, an' bein' creative. ~ Harvey Pekar
Gigs quotes by Harvey Pekar
I went to Texas a few times for gigs and adopted the cowboy look. Every man, at some point in his life, goes through a cowboy stage - everyone! Well, at least everyone that I look up to! ~ Theophilus London
Gigs quotes by Theophilus London
I've been playing live gigs since I was 13. I really don't know how to do anything else, and please God strike me down. ~ Joshua Homme
Gigs quotes by Joshua Homme
If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things. ~ James Taylor
Gigs quotes by James Taylor
Guitar gigs were everywhere in the '50s, and I started diddling around so I could keep working. Playing honky-tonk, simple stuff. I took a few gigs with an organ band that put me out front. ~ George Benson
Gigs quotes by George Benson
Trying to figure things out was my gig. Without the human condition, there's no struggle, no pain and that means no laughter. ~ Lenny Bruce
Gigs quotes by Lenny Bruce
wI don't care what they say about Aretha. She can be hiding out in her house in Detroit for years. She can go decades without taking a plane or flying off to Europe. She can cancel half her gigs and infuriate every producer and promoter in the country. She can sing all kinds of jive-ass songs that are beneath her. She can go into her diva act and turn off the world. But on any given night, when that lady sits down at the piano and gets her body and soul all over some righteous song, she'll scare the shit out of you. And you'll know - you'll swear - that she's still the best fuckin' singer this fucked-up country has ever produced. ~ Billy Preston
Gigs quotes by Billy Preston
Because of the way the record business has kind of stumbled and disintegrated, in a way, you're as likely to sell records at your merch table at your gigs as you are to sell them in a regular record outlet or even online. ~ Todd Rundgren
Gigs quotes by Todd Rundgren
People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band's existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I'm sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared. ~ Greg Ginn
Gigs quotes by Greg Ginn
Well, for the My Generation album, there was nothing to be nervous about in them days. We used to take every day as it came. Every day was just a gig and I think we did the recording between gigs literally. ~ Roger Daltrey
Gigs quotes by Roger Daltrey
Fortunately, an extremely sexy, pixie-voiced blond named Ronnie Harran, who booked the Whisky, saw us ... She had an ear for talent ... the Whisky was finally a gig we could be proud of ... ~ John Densmore
Gigs quotes by John Densmore
In the States, this type of jam-band phenomena has opened it up for groups to improvise, admittedly more in the groove area, as opposed to the straight-ahead jazz thing - which is good for me, as that's one part of where I'm at. It's been so great playing these gigs and seeing kids come out and the whole college scene. ~ John Scofield
Gigs quotes by John Scofield
I started stand-up in 2007. I'd done a couple of gigs before that, but not much, and I was in a sketch group at Uni from 2005 as well. ~ Ed Gamble
Gigs quotes by Ed Gamble
One of my first paid gigs was writing psychology quizzes for 'YM,' a monthly teen magazine like 'Seventeen.' ~ K.A. Applegate
Gigs quotes by K.A. Applegate
The idea of hearing, 'Great gig, man,' one more time just turns my stomach over. ~ John Lydon
Gigs quotes by John Lydon
I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five, six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91, played some gigs, did a couple shows at the Albert Hall. ~ Dhani Harrison
Gigs quotes by Dhani Harrison
'Sister Act' was my first audition out of school. I was 21 and cast as the understudy. It was non-Equity, so I lived in L.A. on $300 a week. I did that for a month and then came to New York to do a couple of gigs, including 'Hair' in the park, before going to London with 'Sister Act,' where I played the lead. ~ Patina Miller
Gigs quotes by Patina Miller
Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it. ~ Tony Iommi
Gigs quotes by Tony Iommi
For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs. ~ Tommy Bolin
Gigs quotes by Tommy Bolin
Sometimes there are no gigs, but the main thing is the music. You can't take that away. The only person who can take that away from you is you. ~ Mike Stern
Gigs quotes by Mike Stern
There's always competition, especially in the EDM scene, but that keeps me motivated and focused. Everybody is really friendly though. I always enjoy seeing other guys at gigs or festivals. So yeah, there is competition but there are also lots of good vibes. ~ Martin Garrix
Gigs quotes by Martin Garrix
'Hairspray' was my first Broadway show. In the meantime, after the show was over, I would go down and do gigs at these clubs that I wasn't even old enough to get into. That continued on, and I think what ended up happening was that I just got these incredible opportunities on Broadway. ~ Laura Bell Bundy
Gigs quotes by Laura Bell Bundy
I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me. ~ Reggie Watts
Gigs quotes by Reggie Watts
In my early performing days, I played gigs under the pseudonym Whitey McFearsun. I painted my face blue, wore crimson lipstick, and strung on some tight silver latex pants. ~ Shawn Amos
Gigs quotes by Shawn Amos
I think the one-on-one gigs connecting with the fans - is the most important thing. That will help build your fan base. They'll talk about you, and word spreads. Those things are just as important as knowing how to play an E chord. ~ Joan Jett
Gigs quotes by Joan Jett
I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile. ~ Buddy Guy
Gigs quotes by Buddy Guy
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family. ~ Heather Langenkamp
Gigs quotes by Heather Langenkamp
The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape. ~ Bill Bruford
Gigs quotes by Bill Bruford
I met this wonderful guy who owned an old pub near the Eiffel Tower called Malone's (he's French but it's an Irish name). He had a cellar with a piano and told me I could use it whenever I wanted to. I played lots of gigs down there. When I came back I played a show at the Knitting Factory. ~ Regina Spektor
Gigs quotes by Regina Spektor
There was a period when I stopped talking so much, because I was just going through certain things. I just did the gigs and just stayed in, tried to stay away. ~ Jimi Hendrix
Gigs quotes by Jimi Hendrix
There was a band in San Diego, Bluegrass Etc, that played a weekly gig. My parents would take my brother and me every Saturday night for 7 or 8 years. Sean and I started taking lessons with them and they gave us a great foundation in bluegrass instrumentation. They were the lens through which I saw music for a very long time. ~ Sara Watkins
Gigs quotes by Sara Watkins
At college, I felt frustrated thinking three years was a long time and I just wanted a job but afterwards I was in employment the whole time. I got into a theatre company and started doing stand-up gigs for cash, so I lived hand-to-mouth, but there was always enough to pay the bills. ~ Bill Bailey
Gigs quotes by Bill Bailey
I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label. ~ Norah Jones
Gigs quotes by Norah Jones
Home gigs can be hard because it's an odd collision. More than anything, I feel self-conscious when my family are in the audience. I'm doing this job which is not quite acting - part of it is me, part performance. You're presenting a cartoon of yourself to people who know you as a line-drawing. ~ Dylan Moran
Gigs quotes by Dylan Moran
What is Camille Paglia doing, writing that an actress as gifted as Anne Heche has the mental depth of a pancake? How many pancake brains could do what Heche did with David Mamet's dialogue in Wag the Dog? No doubt Heche has been stuck with a few bad gigs, but Paglia, of all people, must be well aware that being an actress is not the same safe ride as being the tenured university professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. ~ Clive James
Gigs quotes by Clive James
I had to figure out how to survive in New York, and most of my time was occupied in getting an apartment and getting money. A lot of older jazz guys looked out for me and found me gigs and places to stay. ~ Wynton Marsalis
Gigs quotes by Wynton Marsalis
If you want to know how important Portland is to me, there's no Saturday night gigs here. They weren't available. So our whole thing coming into Portland, which is going to be different from anybody else, any other city, is every night is Saturday night. ~ Garth Brooks
Gigs quotes by Garth Brooks
Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention. ~ Alan Parsons
Gigs quotes by Alan Parsons
I would urge a young player to listen to Charlie Christians' sense of time ... I'll never forget listening to my father (Bucky Pizzarelli) and Tal Farlow playing Christians' 'Solo Flight' backstage at a gig ... that's when it hit me how big of an effect Christian had on jazz guitar. 'Solo Flight' was like the gospel ... ~ John Pizzarelli
Gigs quotes by John Pizzarelli
It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries. ~ Jessie J.
Gigs quotes by Jessie J.
I'm the diva from the future. The next gig's on the moon. Catch me while you can. ~ Natasha Bedingfield
Gigs quotes by Natasha Bedingfield
I want to have a good time myself. I don't want to dread going to work no matter what the gig is. I think, selfishly, I will make sure that I have a good time; how about that? ~ Tom Hanks
Gigs quotes by Tom Hanks
I couldn't believe it when I learned that people actually 'practised the occult'. These freaks with white make-up and black robes would come up to us after our gigs and invite us to black masses at Highgate Cemetery in London. I'd say to them, 'Look, mate, the only evil spirits I'm interested in are called whisky, vodka and gin.' ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Gigs quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me. ~ Eric Bogosian
Gigs quotes by Eric Bogosian
