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

I haven't been really nervous about a gig in a long time.

I'd like to go back to standup. I don't like to think I've done my last gig. At the moment it terrifies me, I get really nervous. It's a great buzz when it goes well.

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

When I began doing stand-up, it took me a long time to get an hour's worth of material together.

I was either going onstage or going into an interview or getting on a plane. You can't really feel everything fully when you don't have the time to process.

It took me two years to walk around a chair with ease; it took me another two years to learn how to laugh onstage - and I had to learn everything.

I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.

A lot of people don't think they can count on me, but I've never missed a gig in my life.

Sometimes, I have lost out on a gig because I was not high enough profile.
