I can't eat before I go onstage because I've learnt that burping on stage isn't a good thing. It's all about acid reflux.
I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.
There is a big difference between what I do onstage and what I do in my private life. I don't put my living room on magazine pages.
I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'
Being onstage and communicating with an audience was part of my life since I was very little, but I was never pushed into singing. My parents were so uninterested in me making music.
A steamer is like an inhaler, so you can inhale this oil or frankincense or eucalyptus. Before I go onstage, I spend half an hour taking in that steam, and it saves my life!
From offstage until the moment I walk onstage, I constantly tweak my talk show and 'Top Model', but at the same time, I often leave my private life by the wayside.
If your record doesn't sell that well, man, who cares? All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.
Even when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.
In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.
I'm always curious about anyone who has enough passion to go onstage and say, 'This is what I'm really passionate about.' It's always worth listening to.
What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.
I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.
I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.
I have a wonderful psychiatrist that I see maybe once a year, because I don't need it. It all comes out onstage.
If I found a cure for a huge disease, while I was hobbling up onstage to accept the Nobel Prize they'd be playing the theme song from 'Three's Company'.
I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!
The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.
I wasn't really the most charming person, socially - it took me a long time to develop my people skills - but the one place I was always comfortable was onstage, acting or singing.
I'm just a Chicago actor who's a playwright. Even with the success of 'August,' the people in town who come to our theater know me by sight, because they've seen me onstage so much.
