I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

I've never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.

I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.

I don't particularly get nervous about anything.

I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.

Well, for the My Generation album, there was nothing to be nervous about in them days. We used to take every day as it came. Every day was just a gig and I think we did the recording between gigs literally.

When I was younger and did a stand-up gig, it would take me two weeks to recover. Sometimes I'd get so panicked that I would stutter.
