If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things.

I've been auditioning since I was 20, working as a waiter, getting theater gigs, doing the 'Law and Order's.

One of my first paid gigs was writing psychology quizzes for 'YM,' a monthly teen magazine like 'Seventeen.'

I did a modeling gig once, but I am not a model. I want to be a model because it's a lot easier than acting.

I do some concerts. At the moment, I'm being helped a lot by a gig I play in London, which is Pizza Express.

We did eight gigs in super-stadiums, all the biggest joints - L.A. Coliseum, Oakland Coliseum, Shea Stadium.

Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

I came second in 'The Voice of Finland' in 2012 and my career really exploded at home. I had 300 gigs a year.

People get good gigs because they stand up....You don't get picked. Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.

Live comedy's a very reckless, foolhardy profession. You're only as good as your last gig so earnings fluctuate.

I'm waiting for them to come up with a 'Star Trek' thing so they can beam me from my house to the gigs and back.

'Frasier' was a classy gig. I didn't for one minute think it was less prestigious or artistic than doing a play.

I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that; it's like a license to steal.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

My stand-up is quite good now, people say. It's just like a big conversation each time. Every gig is a rehearsal.

Donald Rumsfeld also lost his gig last week. When asked what his future plans are, Rumsfeld said, 'What's a plan?'

The Bassbone works great in the studio or on the live stage. Throw it in your gig bag and take it wherever you go.

It's worth turning up to an awards gig if you know you've won one but, since you never do know, it's not worth it.

It's fun! Just fun...I don't think of it as a cabaret act per se, I call it more of a gig, if that makes any sense

I was used to hanging out late after playing a gig - you mix adrenaline with alcohol and you can stay up all night.

The thing about doing gigs is you make music, and then it is gone and that is being watched by thousands of people.

After 'Rock Star,' I was definitely doing more high profile gigs. I was playing in Iceland. I was playing in Canada.

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.

After a gig I get to the hotel all psyched-up from being on stage and get stuck into 'Homes and Interiors' magazine.

It's just to break things up between stand-up gigs. I would only do it periodically. Maybe just an East Coast thing.

To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing stealing far more gigs than automation.

I was rooming with Jimmy Bowen at the time, doing some gigs, then I went back to New Orleans and played there in '62.

All gigs are good gigs. There's never a bad one. Everything have a reason behind it; you just got to find that reason.

MySpace is just spam central. I mean, every day I just get mail inviting me to gigs that are nowhere near Los Angeles!

I was so happy and content with in life playing music. Music was always my first job and my day gig was my second job.

I really worked with icons in the music business, which really had a strong effect on me. It wasn't just pick-up gigs.

I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.

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.

I didn't plan to go to Eurovision and I didn't plan on winning. I was a struggling musician, hoping for a couple of gigs.

If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility. People need a big night out, and you're providing it.

I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

I always fly British Airways. I find them to be the most dependable and I need to be on time when I'm travelling for gigs.

To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.

I've made it very clear that I'm interested in voiceover work. I mean, I'm always looking for voiceover gigs. I love that.

I have about 100 gigs of music, and I'm always going through thinking about what song I can match to a scene and all that.

One of my first bartending gigs was on Santa Monica Boulevard at Doug Weston's Troubadour, a very famous live music venue.

I've always loved working on series. The crew feels like a family and it's nice to have a regular gig that you can count on.

Before really high-pressured gigs I tend to freeze and crawl into bed. Under the covers you just feel safe for a little while.

I never expected I was going to travel the world playing gigs with my band and best friends. I have surpassed any dreams I had.

Doing gigs is great, but when you come together for a production in the theatre, that is something I have a lot of respect for.

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.

People have said I played some pretty amazing gigs in the seventies, but in all honesty, I probably played one good show in three.

That was how I started, as a hypnotist. But I didn't like the kind of gigs I was being offered. I didn't want to embarrass people.

I might get a break again, and I might get back on telly. If I don't, I'll just keep doing stand-up and doing the best gigs I can.

I had a band with a girl in New York, and we would go around and do gigs. And then I happened to start getting work as an actress.
