I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.
Justin Timberlake

I hadn't worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I've ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn't have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly.
Wentworth Miller

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.
Ben Stiller

I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch.
Emma Thompson

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up.
Dan Millman

I have been steadily exchanging a rock audience who were nervous about what they had just bought for a jazz audience who not only were happy with their purchase, but are increasingly coming again.
Bill Bruford

I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.
Andy Gibb

I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.
Lasse Hallstrom

I know what it's like to be pregnant and nervous and poor.
Loretta Lynn

I like the performing part, it gives me a huge rush but it still makes me nervous. Being in front of large crowds is intimidating to me and I feel myself withdrawing.
Torrie Wilson

I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
Jamie Oliver

I look at is as one single entity. I dehumanize the audience. This way, I don't get nervous, you know?
Kenny Hickey

I love getting ready to do a scene, and thinking about it, and talking about it. But the rest of the time, I'm so nervous and obsessed. I'm just tearing my hair out in the trailer. The whole time I'm really tense.
Casey Affleck

I love the art of acting, and I love film, because you always have anther chance if you want it. You know, if we - if this isn't going well, you can't say - well, you could say - let's stop. Let's start over again, Gene, because you were too nervous.
Gene Wilder

I love to be nervous before a scene.
Kim Basinger

I once had dinner with Madonna and I wasn't nervous but within about a minute I found myself talking about underwear.
Randy Newman

I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.
Gwyneth Paltrow

I remember that Jack Lemmon, who is one of my favorite actors of all time, says that the day he stops being nervous is the day he should leave the business.
Kim Basinger

I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck.
Corey Haim

I still get nervous on dates. I'll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can't breathe.
Shannen Doherty
