“I was onstage and I was shocked; it hurt so badly. I thought: Why am I doing this? Why do I sing about needing to get better so she'll come back? That's a real problem I have. I don't need to get better - I need to find someone who likes me the way I am, someone who finds Chris desirable.”
Chris Carrabba
“For me (being onstage) is me being everything I always wanted to be. It erases everything I don't like about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us.”
Gerard Way
“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
“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
“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
“Some asshole kept throwing oranges and other fruit at me while I was onstage. Fucker had an arm like a major league pitcher...”
Eminem
