I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to get so carried away while I was on stage that I'd be physically damaged by the end of a concert.
I started out doing my mother's nightclub act, and I had stage fright.
Instead of acting in court, I decided to act onstage.
I caught on fire twice on the stage, but I was promptly put out. It was just my leg.
I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play.
I reached the stage where I was afraid to wiggle my leg, but then I thought 'why shouldn't I?' It's what I do and now I know how to turn an audience on again.
I'm a very private person, and when I leave the stage, I leave the stage.
My wife totally backs the way I am on stage; that's one of the amazing things about her. I have 120 per cent respect for her when I'm on stage, so there are definitely certain things I would never do.
Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.
I was just making music in my bedroom. I never wanted to be onstage.
