I learned that if you want SOMETHING, you've got to really go for it, TRY to put the nerves ASIDE.

As blue chips turn into penny stocks, Wall Street seems less like a symbol of America's MACHO capitalism and more like that FAMOUS Jane Austen CHARACTER Mrs. Bennet, a flibbertigibbet always anxious about GETTING richer and her 'poor NERVES.'

My MAIN WEAKNESS is NERVES.

I won $100,000 in Vegas, which buys furniture for my beach HOUSE. That takes NERVES. You can't think if I'm WRONG I'll blow $30,000.

Nothing is like being out there and playing and performing and winning - nothing. But to have an interest in the PLAYER? The nerves and EVERYTHING that goes with it? Seeing what he's learned and how he's done it? That's the SECOND BEST thing to playing. I THINK.

In our story logic which we're MAKING up, if we're saying he's ALIVE, then like a quadriplegic who's in bed he can move his HEAD and shoulders, but he can't move his arms. If he could just turn on that POWER to his LEGS and arms, the nerves could get through and he could walk.

My NERVES before a gig got worse; I had terrible BAD nerves all the TIME. Once we started... I was FINE.

For me, you REALLY need those pre-fight nerves to help you focus and switch on. The most important thing is to KEEP CONTROL of those FEELINGS.

I just grate on my own NERVES. I don't LIKE to WATCH me.

Being unprepared HEIGHTENS NERVES.
