I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching.

In retrospect, I can see I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching about. Ha! Like, that sure made sense!

I lost my temper on stage.

The complaint with me being on stage was always that I was slightly too naturalistic and not projecting enough. I've got quite a soft voice, so that didn't help.

I was screaming constantly, on the set, in my room... everywhere.

When you were on stage, you could be absolutely open about your emotions and indulge them and express yourself in a way that - in real life - I wasn't doing.

At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.

I was trained to be loud, passionate, direct. I didn't realize for the longest time I was intimidating.

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.
