Well, unless you've suffered from panic attacks and social anxiety disorders, which is what I was diagnosed as having, it's hard to explain it. But you go on stage knowing you're actually physically going to die. You will keel over and die.
From Donny Osmond
Our father taught us such a work ethic that if there's something worth doing, it's worth doing well.
Here's the mark that a lot of people miss nowadays. Producers missed. They leave out the heart and soul. And that's what I learned from Sammy Davis, Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to go see those shows, you got to know them.
I look at Justin Bieber and my heart breaks for him, because I know what he's going to go through. He knows it. Everybody knows it.
When I was 20, 21 years old, I had just got married. Put yourself in my wife's shoes. All of these fans all across the world would have Donny Osmond burning - record-burning parties. They would put my albums and burn them.
I love cranberry juice, but I'm not a coffee drinker - as a Mormon, I avoid caffeine.
We have a water purifier, so we drink a lot of it. As a singer, especially in Utah, you have to hydrate constantly.
I got fitter when I did 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' I wore a loincloth - that's a lot of motivation!
I go to bed late. My mind starts going at night - that's when those creative juices begin flowing.
I didn't grow up with Broadway music. My mother played Perry Como, while I listened to Andy Williams records. Later on it was Cream, Grand Funk Railroad and lots of R&B like the Isley Bros. and Parliament.
