I am always scared before going on stage; this is the fear which makes me do well.

I was terrified of being on stage, and I had to work very hard at a craft to get past that.

Right before I go on stage, I'm absolutely terrified. My mind darts at many directions, but the center of me is going forward into the performance.

Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.

Every time I went on stage I was so terrified I almost threw up.

I still suffer terribly from stage fright. I get sick with fear. Not every night, but at the beginning and on occasion - not necessarily when I'm expecting it. You just have to cope with it - take it on the chin and work through it, trying to use the adrenalin to perform.

I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.

Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis.

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.
