Death's not one of those things that frighten the life out of me. Getting up on stage with the curtain going up frightens me more.

I very often wake up at two in the morning with my stomach going over. Sometimes it's difficult to work out why - it's all the things you've put to one side during the day.

When you get real stage fright, it comes like a sledgehammer out of the blue in the middle of something that you know you've done too many times before, and there's no rhyme or reason for it. It's something quite different from being nervous. It's almost paralysing.

Get more confidence by doing things that excite and frighten you.

There's something that really frightens me - and that's fear.

The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.
