On stage, I like to portray my different sides as much as possible.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

I've always had to conquer fear when I'm on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It's absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I'm okay. It's like I'm out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.

When I'm on stage, I feel alive. It's the most rewarding feeling an actor can live.

The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment.

Every single time I step on stage or on screen, I am contributing to a culture in which there's a dearth of people representing folks that look like me, or that have our context.

Harlem is a stage. It's like its own planet, from the way we dress to the swag in the way we walk and talk.

You cannot have the same kind of character again and again in every season or every stage of your life. You change, people change.

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

The reason I made my stage name Kali Uchis is because it's still me in the sense that, my dad called me 'Kali Uchis' my whole life. It's still something I've been called since I was a baby. It's still me.

As an adolescent, I was painfully shy, withdrawn. I didn't really have the nerve to sing my songs on stage, and nobody else was doing them. I decided to do them in disguise so that I didn't have to actually go through the humiliation of going on stage and being myself.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.

Drumming's pretty physical. We sit at the back of the stage getting beat up like a workhorse.

If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

I'm like a big 10-year-old when I'm on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
