Marc Bolan Quotes

I started doing improv when I was 8 years old, so it's always been in my life. I would feel naked without it.

I feel so much at home onstage and so comfortable in my body.

The beauty of me being on stage is I have a voice.

I am the kind of person that wants to get up in front of crowds of strangers and perform monologues. To each their own.

I want to be able to deliver the kind of show that I want - to go onstage with my chin held up.

On stage, I feel like I'm invincible, like nothing bad can happen. I can be myself. I feel like I shrink when I'm off stage.

I decided that instead of apologizing for having a lot to say, I wanted to create a format where people would come to hear me sing and speak.

One place that I really feel comfortable is being a comedienne. I'm very socially inept. There's so many things that I can not do in life, and this is, like, the one thing that I have mastery over. It's my world. And anybody who's coming to the show, it's like they're coming because they know that this is my world.

I was fooling everyone by surrounding myself with funny people. But then I put myself out there - writing my own sketches, going on stage with nobody surrounding me - and for some reason people were still laughing.

Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.

I tend to be more arrogant on stage. Far more ignorant. I sometimes say what I think and sometimes say the opposite of what I think and the lines get blurred, but I can only hope that some kind of absolute power transcends.

I don't feel nervous or fearful when I'm on stage.

I'm not that flashy in private; I'm usually pretty reserved. But on stage, it's about not being afraid of anything - of anyone judging you. It's one place you can be free. So why not sing as loud as you can, hoop and holler and jump around? A show is a moment. When it's done, it's over. I find that extremely liberating.

I don't get afraid in talking about subject matter that may spark controversy, and I'm not afraid to not be liked. I think that sometimes people pay too much attention to being liked, and it's paralyzing.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.

Take a microphone out of my hands, and I'm just plain folks.

Everyone calls me 'the male Jennifer Lawrence,' because I just say things because I'm random, and I do things and I don't care what people think. I think she's hilarious.

I'm a natural ham. It doesn't bother me to perform.

I wasn't afraid to be laughed at or be loud.

There's nothing about the stage to be afraid of; there's nothing about the cameras to be afraid of. You just have to be yourself.

Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.

To me, comedy is a great occupation because I don't really worry that much about what other people think of me.

I love being onstage and I love to perform. To be honest with you, I'm more comfortable performing than I am in an everyday situation, which I can't quite explain.

For me, there's a fine line between being a cheeseball and being a good performer.
