Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.

I've got to be comfortable when I'm on stage.
I don't really move onstage; all I do is just gradually hunch more and more and jut out at the people in the front row.
I'm most comfortable on stage.
From a very young age, I wanted to get up on stage whenever I went to the theatre - the actors just seemed to be having so much fun. One of my worries about theatre, in fact, is that the actors are quite often having more fun than the audience.
I think I've always been fine on stage - though I get nervous beforehand. But once I'm on stage, all of that goes out of the window.
It took me years to actually get comfortable on the stage. I prefer the intimacy of screen; it comes easier to me. In theater, you have to be louder and bigger - that was harder for many years in my teens. But now I've conquered that. I eat up the stage. I love it.
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
People were talking while I was playing, so I got up and left the stage. I've gotten to the point where I'm not really very patient with patrons rapping during the show. And the people were all nice and quiet when I cam back.
The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.
I don't believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off. I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more.
