I think I have an adrenaline addiction, no question about that.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

Adrenaline is the reason I do what I do.

I guess you could say I'm an addict - an adrenalin addict - I get great excitement and stimulation from doing stuff in public, even though I'm nervous and I have very bad stage fright.

It's the adrenaline rush you only get from being in front of an audience. It's addictive.

Think of it this way: performing is like sprinting while screaming for three, four minutes. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And then you walk a little, shouting the whole time. And so on. Your adrenaline quickly overwhelms your conditioning.

And I think I'm an adrenaline junkie, and there's nothing that will spike your adrenaline more than sitting in a theater and listen to an audience react to something you've written.

I just loved performing. It just made me feel alive. It's scary, but that's part of it. I think it's important to have that extra adrenaline. It gives you that extra zing.

The adrenaline of performing on stage to a crowd - there's nothing like it.

I feel like with every performance that I see, I get better because I've always thought - while I'm watching people perform - of what I would do.
