“When you're accustomed to doing stand-up, so often you're the only person onstage and it's all your thing. It's very gladiatorial. Obviously, when you're in a scene with somebody, you're supposed to listen and react - and that's a bit of a transition.”
Jon Stewart
“I like that particular kind of attention. People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.”
Dave Chappelle
“It just annoys the hell of out me when someone will get up onstage and [say], 'Uh, you know, I didn't prepare anything, so I'm just going to take questions,' and they have a ball cap on, ugly clothes and unshaven.”
CEO Gary Berman
“When she got onstage she was just a different kid. She was so confident and she looked so happy, and we were like, 'Who is that?' After that, there was no stopping her -- she was obsessed.”
Tina Knowles
“When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.”
Chubby Checker
“So what if I'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It's a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that.”
Snoop Dogg
“I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.”
Noel Gallagher
