The stage is my comfort zone, and playing live is what I've always wanted to do. It's why I want to do two hundred dates a year. I wouldn't feel that way if I were nervous onstage.
Don't try to be what you're not. If you're nervous, be nervous. If you're shy, be shy. It's cute.
Sometimes travelling really intensely for a long time is like having a continuous nervous breakdown.
I think I've always been fine on stage - though I get nervous beforehand. But once I'm on stage, all of that goes out of the window.
I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death.
I've never been afraid of big moments. I get butterflies. . I get nervous and anxious, but I think those are all good signs that I'm ready for the moment.
I can't say I'm not nervous at all with media and doing speeches, but I'm getting used to it and better at it, hopefully.
Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.
I am still nervous every show. Not in the "Wow, I'm scared, I can't go on nervous," but the "I really want to do a good job and the give the audience a great show" kind of nervous. Oh, yes, the nerves are there, but I let them push me instead of holding me back.
