I'm actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music.

I'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.

The truth is that to enjoy acting one must be an exhibitionist at heart, one must revel in those exposures of the emotions which would be agonizing to a shy or reserved person. All the great actors have been and are exhibitionists.

I'm not an exhibitionist in any way, shape or form. I don't even like having my picture taken!

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.

Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.

What you wear onstage is a reflection of your artistry.

Onstage, you can be anything you want to be. In concert, I might project a different side of myself, but I wouldn't do anything I'd be embarrassed of.

Acting on stage is a living organism you can never pin down, and I believe the audience feeds off that, too.
