I am certainly suffering from a modicum of performance anxiety.

There is always anxiety before a competition and it was no different for me today. It was only in the third round, with about 40 targets left, that I realised I could match the world record score.

You're able to do more when you're not clouded with wasted anxiety.

My anxiety level of my own work and what I'm doing and focusing on my art and all of that stuff? That's fundamental.

I feel less adrenaline in my body now, but more in my head. I tried to be at my best, and I succeeded.

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

Fear and anxiety are great motivators for me.

Anxiety has afflicted me all my life.

I've since become really good at overwhelming myself.

I have this system. I torture my husband and everyone around me with my nerves and anxiety. Then, when I get on stage, the fear is gone. I've exhausted myself. It just dissipates.
