The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

Stage fright is my worst problem.

To begin with, I don't have any stage fright.

As for the stage fright, it never goes away. When I'm waiting in the wings to go on, it's agony every single time but I stay focused and I know that once I'm on stage it'll be fine; I'll be in my happy little bubble.

I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.

I started out doing my mother's nightclub act, and I had stage fright.
