I always loved playing in front of big audiences; now I'm jittery if one person is in the room watching me. — © Stephen Hendry
I always loved playing in front of big audiences; now I'm jittery if one person is in the room watching me.
Even our early audiences were very polite. It felt like playing in our living room. I remember the audiences changing in front of me. I remember that distinctly. The way they wore their clothes became different. We got a lot of leather jackets with studs. People's hair changed. The whole look was just a sublime move.
There is a tendency to feature more actresses on covers, but I'm a big model lover. I grew up watching these models, and they gave me the wish, the need, to work in the fashion industry. I loved watching them - their beauty, the way they worked in front of the camera and that power of transformation, especially in the Seventies.
I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.
I'm always very interested in playing in front of different kinds of audiences. It always affects the way you play.
I love the idea of playing something stupid or romantic. I'm not the smartest man in the room. I listen, and I learn, and I observe, but I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.
I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.
I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.
When you start playing as young as me, and you've been in front of audiences your entire life, this is literally what I grew up doing.
When I was told that we are doing another series of 'Kichidi' my reaction was indeed as if the wish, of not only me but the audiences who loved watching the show, was fulfilled again.
Cannabis always made me paranoid; I felt like people were watching me. And now I'm sober, and I've got this talk show in the middle of the night on CBS, and I now know that no one is watching me.
When playing any song in front of an audience, you're watching them experience it, and it changes. In a lot of ways, it's almost like the music is just the background buzz to what's happening between you and the audience in the room.
I tell my children now that they are older, 'If something happens to me... don't make no big fuss over me. Don't make no big expense on my funeral. Don't put any pressure on the rest of the family. I've loved everybody, and I hope they loved me. But don't create this big expense for the family.'
Big players want to play in front of big audiences.
When we were younger, playing a bar or a club, we did what we did to get as many people to like what we were doing. I wanted the person in the back of the room to like it as much as the ones in the front. That's how I've always looked at it.
I want to be as big as I can be. To me, being big is just playing in front of a lot of people. And that's my goal.
I've always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason.
