Fright Quotations

I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
Henry Rollins

I love readings and my readers, but the din of voices of the audience gives me stage fright, and the din of voices inside whisper that I am a fraud, and that the jig is up. Surely someone will rise up from the audience and say out loud that not only am I not funny and helpful, but I'm annoying, and a phony.
Anne Lamott

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?
