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.

When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about.

I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.

When I perform on stage, you have to remember my performance or buy another ticket to the party! In television and film, you can see it over and over again.

When I have a bad show, I can't wait until I can get back on stage to forget about it.

I used to be more involved with every aspect of everything onstage. I'm way more relaxed now. It feels like anything can happen.

Rehearsing a scene beds a role into you. But sometimes, if you over-rehearse it without unearthing any new meaning in it, you can suddenly forget your lines. You realise that you are on a stage, not in the real world. The scene's emotional power, and your immersion in it, disappears.

Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.

I've felt emotions onstage that I never felt before; it has strengthened me as a person and as an artist.

I was either going onstage or going into an interview or getting on a plane. You can't really feel everything fully when you don't have the time to process.
