I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

I've been making music since I was 14, but for a while, I was afraid to perform.

I enjoy performing, always, but when you're taping a gig, you've got to blank out this mass apparatus of self-consciousness that's surrounding you, this invitation to drown in self-consciousness. Otherwise you just won't be able to do anything.

I'm nervous whenever I perform.

There are a lot of things I do that I don't want to, but I have to. It's truly an emotional need for me to perform.

I'm terrified of performing live.

Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I'd be very happy. It's not my favorite thing to do.

I think you can separate yourself from your fears. You know what you should do, and it's just scary to do it. But I'd hate to let the fact that I'm scared to do it make me not do it. It ends up defining you. Because the moves you make are then based on what you don't want to do.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.
