I don't really want to be the centre of attention.

Because let's be clear about this: birthdays are for children. It's the one day of the year where they get properly spoilt and are the centre of attention, and they get the presents they really, really want.
I'm in a difficult position in the sense that, preposterous as this might sound, I don't like being the centre of attention. I get up on stage every night and play songs, but I almost feel the songs are the centre of attention. I don't like opening my birthday presents in front of people, either.
I don't really like being in the centre of attention.
What is the difference between attention and inattention? What is attention and what is concentration? ...Attention has no centre.
If you are playing King Lear you are the centre of attention anyway. You don't need to draw attention to yourself. It's all laid out for you.

If I don't get enough attention, I want more attention. If I have too much attention, I want it to stop. It is not always easy to understand myself.
It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.
The point of my music? The point I just want to get across is I'm me and I exist. Just letting people know who I am. Ever since I was young, I was the little attention grabber; I always loved attention. I want to grab people's attention. I want them listen to me and know that this is really good music. Whether they like it or not, they're gonna listen.
I was never a guy who liked to be in the centre of attention.
