Daily Inspiration Quote by Rena Marlette Lesnar

"I miss performing before a live audience - the energy and excitement - there's nothing to compare with it"

About this Quote

Absence sharpens the appetite, and Lesnar’s line leans on that ache: the hyphenated rush of “the energy and excitement” feels like someone trying to recreate a crowd’s pulse in real time. Coming from a model, it’s also a small correction to how the public is trained to see her work. Modeling gets framed as silent imagery, pose-and-freeze. She insists on the live part: performance as an exchange, not a product.

The phrasing does two jobs at once. On the surface, it’s nostalgia for applause, noise, heat. Underneath, it’s a subtle defense of craft and labor. “There’s nothing to compare with it” isn’t just romantic longing; it’s staking a claim that what she does can’t be flattened into likes, views, or a perfectly lit campaign shot. The live audience is messy, unpredictable, and validating in a way algorithms can’t simulate. That’s why the sentence lands: it taps into the wider cultural shift where public-facing work is increasingly mediated by screens, while the people doing it feel their purpose draining into metrics.

Context matters here: post-pandemic, “missing live audiences” became a kind of shared language across performers, athletes, even speakers. Lesnar borrows that vocabulary to place modeling in the same continuum of embodied, real-time performance. It’s a quiet bid for legitimacy, but also a reminder that glamour is still a job done in front of other humans, with adrenaline as part of the paycheck.
