So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.

All performers get on stage because they need to feel love from an audience. I might appear confident, but those three seconds before I get out there, I'm a mess. But I have to take the risk; otherwise, I'd be miserable and would feel like I wasn't seeing through my personal destiny.

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.

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

Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.

My act is so completely and totally uncensored that the only way I could really pull it off is if I treat the audience like they're my best friends.

I'm a stage actor. You know, I was - I cut my teeth on stage, you know. So I've always had a love affair with the stage, first off, what I was raised in, you know.

I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

If I have any audience, they can know that anything I am in, I would go see, with the expectation of being really satisfied.
