“I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing...” — Liz Phair Quote

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

I have that thrill-seeking mentality, so when people want to know why my incarnations keep changing, or why I'll do something different than I did before, it's that same impulse.

I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.

Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.

Americans are nervous; Americans are restless; and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.

I'm nervous whenever I perform.

Of course you're nervous going into a final.

I was a really nervous kid. I was extremely sensitive. Incredibly perceptive.

The idea of uploading a video that the whole world had access to made me nervous.
