But I have fun with the fright, work with it. You have to - that's your timing, that beat of excitement. And when I go on stage, it's just like taking a step into heaven. Poof, you know? Poof - and there I am.

It's about focusing on the fight and not the fright.

Fear was absolutely necessary. Without it, I would have been scared to death.

I have had a very difficult time with stage fright; it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood.

But I'm someone who the more afraid I am, the more I want to do it to get the fear over with.

There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn't up for the challenge.

I was terrified of being on stage, and I had to work very hard at a craft to get past that.

I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.

If it is not scary, it is not worth doing.

There's something really fun about being scared, and I guess that was at least part of why I wanted to film certain scenes from my new book, 'Skeleton Creek.'
