Live performance is everything. First of all, I have terrible stage fright. But beyond that, once the music starts, it's OK.
I'm very self conscious in a bikini, and I would never get my tummy out onstage.
My family didn't like me going on the stage, and they didn't much like my being a writer, either.
I loathe the idea of going onstage in a T-shirt and jeans.
I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.
I always wanted to do some acting, but didn't want to be that guy who says he has to.
I feel completely fearless when I'm on stage. And also totally fearful. There's the fear that I'm not making a very smart career move sometimes, but there's the stronger belief that these things need to be said.
No, because I was always nervous about being onstage.
I've always had to conquer fear when I'm on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It's absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I'm okay. It's like I'm out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.
I cannot really recall when I faced stage fear because I started so young. It's my natural habit. But you know, I can see how I have changed, rather improved as a singer. I never had a formal training but regular practice of singing.
My school has always encouraged students to participate in different competitions and it was my teachers who helped me overcome stage fear as I have always been a very shy person.
I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig.
I don't care about making a fool of myself on stage anymore. I don't care what people think.
I don't let it get to my head because there have been plenty of good juniors that haven't made it to the big stage.
I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.
I'm so scared of doing theater. I've got stage fright, although they keep asking me to come back.
I grew up on the side of the stage. I never had a fear of an audience. I never felt like they were separated from us. We were all in the living room, and it happens to be a big living room. I continue to operate on that assumption.
I've learnt to hide my tears on stage. They make people uncomfortable.
An audience is the most dangerous thing in the world, because they paid, and they're looking at you. And they paid! And there's a lot of them! And they cast a cold eye, because they paid. To be on the stage, you have to be very secure.
When we walk onto that stage I'm not feeling like I'm ruled by any other band.
I wish I had the guts and talent to be a good comedian. I love the idea of it, yet I'm terrified of it. I'd also love to play music in front of people.
I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.
I like it when I'm on the stage, but honestly, I would be very happy if I could cut it off, just enjoy my life when I wasn't performing.
All performers get on stage because they need to feel love from an audience. I might appear confident, but those three seconds before I get out there, I'm a mess. But I have to take the risk; otherwise, I'd be miserable and would feel like I wasn't seeing through my personal destiny.
I was very nervous as a child and had stage fright.
