“I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!”
Josh Groban
“Onstage, he would lean way over into the microphone. He seemed to defy gravity and you'd swear he was going to fall over, but he never did.”
Ron Lynam
“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
“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
“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
