Once on stage, I was thinking of something else, and I forgot my line. I became so frightened. The girl I was playing with also became so frightened, she couldn't give me the next line. I just walked off stage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Once, and only once, I walked on stage and my mind went utterly blank! I had no idea why I was there! My fellow actors had to rescue me. I was very young and new to the business, so I'm glad it didn't give me stage fright for the rest of my life!
I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.
Every time I went on stage I was so terrified I almost threw up.
I've always had to conquer fear when I'm on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It's absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I'm okay. It's like I'm out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.
I think I was afraid of what I might say when I got onto someone's stage or in front of someone's camera.
I was terrified of being on stage, and I had to work very hard at a craft to get past that.
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 can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
