I don't really move onstage; all I do is just gradually hunch more and more and jut out at the people in the front row.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I walk out onstage and I get a warm, excited response, it makes me feel so confident and happy, and then it's so easy for me up there.
I feel like sometimes I get even more goofy onstage than I am offstage. I'm not trying to make the music less than what it is. Even if it's hard for me and I have to think about a lot of details, it's none of the audience's business. I don't want them to feel that I'm having a hard time.
I get embarrassed a lot of times getting attention, but I like being onstage. Do you know what I mean? If I'm in a crowd of people and they're all looking at me, I will feel embarrassed. It's a strange dichotomy.
I love being onstage and I love to perform. To be honest with you, I'm more comfortable performing than I am in an everyday situation, which I can't quite explain.
I don't believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off. I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more.
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
I meditate and pray before going onstage - it helps me focus.
I don't do anything specific for the stage. I'm just myself. I can't stand still for five seconds. I'm normally quite active, so that just comes out on stage. If I see people react to me and my music, I just have to give back and express myself.
I'm not good at interacting with people and am terrified to get onstage, so I just go up there, freak out and, most of the time, pack up and go home immediately after.
I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
