For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality.

Onstage, there's no hiding; you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
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.
What I really like seeing from the stage is people having their own moments, when people are doing some performance of their own.
Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience.
Actors are always grabbing each other on stage, looking in each other's eyes, making a moment so private, the audience doesn't know what they're doing.

I'm not that flashy in private; I'm usually pretty reserved. But on stage, it's about not being afraid of anything - of anyone judging you. It's one place you can be free. So why not sing as loud as you can, hoop and holler and jump around? A show is a moment. When it's done, it's over. I find that extremely liberating.
I've got to be comfortable when I'm on stage.
Our demands are simple, normal, and therefore they are difficult to satisfy. All we ask is that an actor on the stage live in accordance with natural laws.
I'm a very private person, and when I leave the stage, I leave the stage.
