There was this real fear in doing 'Square Pegs' after getting such a fast ride to glory on 'Saturday Night Live'. I was afraid that the word would be 'peaks early, fails to live up to promise.'

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.
At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early.
I'm terrified of performing live.
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
Runway is like an adrenaline rush.
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.

I'm afraid one thing - I don't like heights. Heights bug me out. I'm not cool with heights. I refuse to do a comedy show 12 stories up. I'm fearless about everything else.
The first time I got up in front of an audience was terror, abject terror, which continued for another four or five years. There still is, a little bit.
All the times I've been lucky enough to be a part of a show that's actually gotten on the air, it's always that same mixture of excitement and utter fear.
