I have a great need for affection from an audience. I don't know whether this is because I had such a tough life when I was a child.

I'm an affectionate person.

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.

I can be affectionate about a lot of things without watching them.

I've got to be comfortable when I'm on stage.

My personality just steps away, and I'm in direct connection when I'm on stage.

Backstage, I get sleepy, and want to curl up and snooze. I never get nervous, whatever the event. I feel quite detached until I walk on stage, and then some gear inside me clicks and off I go like a wind up doll.

You know sometimes I just want to curl up on stage and lie there for a while - it's weird.

Before I go on stage I pretend that everyone loves me.
