Yes, it was fun playing the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. But I just wasn't satisfied. To have that one big win in a big tournament on that big stage - I don't have that.
I'm confident about going out there and playing - playing with emotion, screaming and yelling.
I remember when I was a kid and I used to go and see Queen play live. It was like there was Queen the album band, and then Queen the four dudes on stage playing the songs on stage, and it never lacked anything to me when it was just the four dudes playing the big songs.
I'm confident when I perform but going into a horrible, boring studio and playing the same thing over and over again is really different to being on stage!
I was about to walk on stage at the Kansas Speedway - I was playing a NASCAR race - and I said to Scooter Carusoe, who was standing side stage, 'I want to write a song called 'Wanna Be That Song.' Then I put my earphones back in and walked right out on stage.
If you're playing someone you care about, it's tough, and I don't want to be in that situation. We are playing big matches for big points and prize money, and I take it very seriously. I relax when I'm outside tennis.
I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.
I'm used to playing in the Premier League now. I'm confident, and all my team-mates are confident with me.
We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage.
I'm confident in everything I do. It can be playing checkers, and I'm confident.
A big part of the Alice Cooper sound is the big classic rock licks, the big, classic thematic kind of... It's not about going crazy, it's not about playing super fast.
I was confident in my ability. It's why I decided to walk on to a bigger school, in the Big 12: because I was confident in myself.
There's something funny about being on a big stage and not making a big effort to fill it up.
I had big problems with stage fright in the past. I think, slowly, as I've gotten better at it, I've started to enjoy it. It's made me a more confident person in my normal life. I can open up and be myself in situations that used to be abject terror.
In theatres, you're kind of disconnected. Also, it's way too big for the likes of me. Unless you're Robin Williams or someone that can fill a stage with movement and energy, it just looks like a small man on a big stage.
As a mom, what I found so disturbing were the things that were being said on a national stage - I mean, literally on the stage and off the stage, around the convention about women, about minorities, about Muslims, about immigrants.
