Quotes About Stage-fright

I suffer greatly from nerves. I have stage-fright badly, and it gets worse, but the stage is still my life.
~ Barry Humphries
I am basically the sort of person who has stage-fright teaching. I kind of creep into a classroom. I'm not an anecdote-teller, either, although I often wish I were.
~ Lydia Davis
They soar, they are somewhere mid-flight, The words of love and liberation And I'm succumbing to stage-fright, My lips – ice cold in trepidation. But soon, where birches, thin and humble, Caress the windows with their leaves, - The voice of the unseen will rumble And roses will be tied in wreaths.
~ Anna Akhmatova
