When I play any of the top teams or the top players, it's a stage.
With writing, there are multiple drafts. On stage, there is one take. I do a lot of preparation for shows, so, for the most part, what you hear me say is pretty much what I wanted to get at.
When I'm on stage, that's me. It's blown up, but that's me.
It wasn't so much that I was all alone on stage, but it was the realization of how much you need the response-you need the audience to tell you where to go
None of the original love and feel for going on stage is gone. I'm not a true singer. I'm performer, and I need to be on stage.
I get very nervous before I get on the stage, but once I'm on the stage, I'm just, you know, me. Nothing hurts me.
emotions really exist at the bottom of the personality or at the top. in the middle they are acted. this is why all the world is a stage.
Depending on what stage I'm at in my career, I either work or don't work because I've been offered one thing.
Thinking up jokes is easy. The hard part is trying them out on stage, because you never know if they're funny until you get there. Not one comedian in the world ever really knows.

If the play works in an emotional and engaging way purely from what's on the page, then what's on the stage will be the icing on the cake. If the play didn't work as a play on its own terms, none of the magic, none of the special effects or theatricality of it all, would add up to anything.
If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things.
Theatre is filled w passion, risk and drama (as much behind-the-curtain as on stage), perfect ingredients for documentary storytelling.
Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.
When I'm up on stage, I don't think about anything except the song I'm singing. Anyway, the majority of my audience is female, and I can't think that many of them want to see me a French maid outfit somehow!
You're limited to one image, but you can have 50 audio tracks. It's something you'd be foolish not to experiment with. So I'm also very interested in sound that happens offscreen. I think that's a way to expand the scope of the movie. And it's all very planned out from the script stage. For me, sound design is a major part of the narrative. I think that's what makes working with certain people on the producer level difficult.
I've learned to keep my work on the stage or on the screen.
I'll play for a couple of hours and then before you know it, it's time to go on stage. It takes away any nervousness and anxiety I might have about the big crowd out there.
