All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
When onstage, I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears, be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.

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 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.
I get so nervous before I go onstage - beyond butterflies!
I feel so much at home onstage and so comfortable in my body.
When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.
You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.
