I get so nervous on stage I can't help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it's pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I'm going to be able to deliver.

Usually when I start a new project there's a fear of the unknown; maybe it's a band I've never been in the studio with before. People are so different.
