On feeling at home onstage:

“I mean, I have stage fright at times. There are moments when there’s something new and … you’re not absolutely sure, and you’re afraid you might forget a motion or a word. But, sure, everybody gets nervous, because you know everyone’s sitting there watching you and they’ve come here to be entertained. … But most of the time up there, I’m not nervous. They say, ‘Picture everybody in their underwear.’ Well, I’m already in mine (laughs).”
