I love being onstage and I love to perform. To be honest with you, I'm more comfortable performing than I am in an everyday situation, which I can't quite explain.

In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.

When I'm on stage, it's like a different world ... me connecting with the audience. It's a surreal experience.

I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.

I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.

The audience, the place you're in, has everything to do with how your performance goes.

As a standup performer, I'm onstage, and it's important how the audience is looking at me. I'm looking at whether they're leaning forward or not, those types of things. You read an energy. And it's the same thing in a scene with other actors.

Sometimes, occasionally, people will make out in the audience, completely not aware that there's a human being onstage just yards away from them, who can see them. Sometimes people think that you're on television while you're onstage, so you're not even a person.

Onstage I do all the stuff I'd never do in real life, like lashing out at people who make me mad or freaking out in a long bank lineup. Performing allows me to fulfill all the sicko fantasies I've ever had.
