I'm always amazed at how much people 'get' when I'm performing overseas. I've never had to change my act on my international shows; I just make sure that I've taken some time to get to know the people in those countries before I perform. That's been really useful.

Russell Peters

I always get nervous when performing. Always!

Manila Luzon

I've always loved performing. It was always very exciting for me. I don't get too nervous when I'm playing, but on every stage, it's a little different. I'm always excited, but sometimes, the level of anxiety to perform is greater.

George Li

Singing Flower of Scotland was the only thing that made me nervous.I don't get nervous doing my own shows.

Amy Macdonald

I get really nervous right before I go on stage. But once I'm performing, I always love it. It's like being in a different world.

Birdy

I started performing at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest.

Doing shows is always a side of skating that I've loved, it's the performing. I get to do that without the pressure, it's always fun between the skaters and the preparation, the show is always so much fun.

Kurt Browning

I definitely have been nervous, but often I get more nervous performing with the corps de ballet than doing a solo. There's so much pressure doing a group number because if you muck it up, you've ruined it for everyone.

Francesca Hayward

If we can ape other shows or even start Indian versions of international series by taking their franchise, why can't we take our shows to an international level?

Javed Jaffrey

I still get nervous sometimes before performing.

Mariah Carey

I get really nervous when I'm performing or meeting new people.

Alice Merton

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

Liz Phair

I always feel a little funny being in front of a lot of people trying to show them my approach to the ukulele, but I do enjoy it. I do get a little more nervous doing workshops rather than performing.

Jake Shimabukuro

I always get nervous. It's usually a good thing. I worry about the nights that I'm not nervous, actually.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger

People always ask me if Im nervous about the intense sci-fi fans. To me that doesnt seem weird or scary. I get really intense about my favorite sci-fi shows, my favorite shows in general.
