I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.

If someone is not spiritually present during a time when you need their help, then how will their physical presence make a difference?

I went to stage school with a neighbor to build confidence because I was quite shy.

He wanted to tell her how much he preferred to look at her, that only by watching could he memorize her, and take her and possess her. He did not know how to explain that he could not touch better or more fully with his hands than he could with his eyes. Seeing encompassed all at once; a touch was limited to one spot at a time.

Just 'cause you can't see me don't mean I gone away.

The accolades don't nourish me - being with loved ones and my dogs does.
