When I was in school, if I was talking as myself and I was presenting something as myself or having to answer a question, I was so nervous. I would get red in the face; I would feel sweaty. I hated it. But anytime I was performing, like, if it was a talent show, or if it's through wrestling, I'm portraying or being someone else, I'm so comfortable.

Adam Cole

It's very exciting to be able to just work in this business, let alone on stuff you are extremely proud of. So it does make me a little nervous, because 'Breaking Bad' is so special. It's great being part of something so great because people pay attention to you, hopefully because you're doing good work.

Aaron Paul

Work Hope Great

I get nervous before openings or premieres or when someone's reading a new script, and I get nervous when my daughter isn't in my immediate field of vision.

Aaron Sorkin

Vision Us T

When I left Planned Parenthood, I was extremely nervous. I was immediately thrown into the media spotlight, and I had no idea what it was going to be like to be a public figure in the pro-life movement.

Abby Johnson

Men Life Us

I think this is really a defining moment for the Arab world. The problem is, it is all going to be about blood, sweat and tears. In certain countries it may be just sweat, and in some countries sweat and tears, and in some countries, as you can see, a lot of blood. I think initial instability is something that we are all extremely nervous of.

Abdullah II of Jordan

Mom Men You

It was really good working with Paresh Rawal. I was nervous at first because he is such a big star and I love his performances, but the initial nervousness went away once I got to know him. He is a very simple and hardworking man.

Abhay Deol

Work Love Good

I just think you need to believe in yourself - be offensive, but still have some nervousness in your body before any important game.

Ada Hegerberg

Yourself Yours Your Body

Owing to some peculiarity in my nervous system, I have perception of some things, which no one else has; or at least very few, if any... I can throw rays from every quarter of the universe into one vast focus.

Ada Lovelace

Art Wing Win

When I was in school, if I was talking as myself and I was presenting something as myself or having to answer a question, I was so nervous. I would get red in the face; I would feel sweaty. I hated it. But anytime I was performing, like, if it was a talent show, or if it's through wrestling, I'm portraying or being someone else, I'm so comfortable.

Adam Cole

Time Yin Wrestling

My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, 'I think your girlfriend's gorgeous, but it's all right, I'm gay.' They get very nervous after a few minutes!

Adam Garcia

Your You Wind

I thought twenty was pretty scary, like, not being able to call myself a teenager anymore, and feeling like an adult - that kind of made me nervous.

Adam Lamberg

Teen Car Age

I'm not a super nervous guy in general. I don't live a ton of my life in my head.

Adam Pally

Life Us Up

It hasn't always been a sweet ride. When I was 15, I almost hated racing in finals because I was so nervous. But as I got more experienced, I had to choose between fight and flight - and I've fought every time.

Adam Peaty

Time Experience Ways

I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.

Adele

Time Car Us

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.

Adele

Fear Age Yes

I'm nervous whenever I perform.

Adele

Whenever Us Perform

It's exciting to work with stars, but there is no reason to be nervous because in the initial stages of my career, I have worked with Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan... I have worked with these stars, so nervousness has gone out my system after that.

Aditya Roy Kapur

Work War Car

I was so nervous that this was 'True Detective' and that I needed to do a good job that I would just dig into every scene.

Adria Arjona

Good Would Very

Don't try to be what you're not. If you're nervous, be nervous. If you're shy, be shy. It's cute.

Adriana Lima

You Us Try

If you're nervous, that means you care and you want to give your best.

Adriana Lima

Car Your You

I remember Tyra Banks giving me encouraging advice during my first Victoria's Secret commercial shoot. I was so nervous, and she told me to just relax and be confident - that made me feel very comfortable.

Adriana Lima

Victoria's Secret Victoria Victor

Well, a lot of people within government and big business are nervous of Hip Hop and Hip Hop artists, because they speak their minds. They talk about what they see and what they feel and what they know. They reflect what's around them.

Afrika Bambaataa

I used to get very nervous before a concert. It's okay when you are in a band. You can kind of disappear. But when it's just you... yes, that was difficult. I would not say it is easy now. But when you do it for a long time, you do learn to cope.

Agnes Obel

I think I have stopped being nervous about the outcome of a film. The five consecutive flops in 1997 and the five consecutive hits in 1999 have mellowed me in many ways.

Ajith Kumar

I'm a little bit nervous for us with all of this electronically generated new hyper-space that we've moved into, where not only people but also economies and systems, like banking, are left to zeros and ones. I want to be more than a zero or one.

Al Jarreau

I get a little upset, yeah, if a year goes by and I don't get a script. Thank God I have other interests that keep me from becoming a nervous wreck.

Alan Arkin

Ed Koch will never 'rest in peace.' That was not his way. He was always nervously squirming, while making others squirm as well. Comfort was not his goal. He understood that to be a proud and assertive Jew meant never being able to leave a sigh of relief and say, 'It's over, we are at peace, we can now put down our guard and relax.'

Alan Dershowitz

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

Alan Rickman

There are not many times when I get nervous, but I do a little bit with penalties.

Alan Shearer

If my mother hadn't encouraged me, I would be nervous and feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

Alek Wek

I always did music privately as a hobby, I think partly because I was nervous to do it in front of other people.

Alessia Cara

The first time I sang in front of an audience, I was about 14 - it was at my guitar school's showcase, and there were about 30 people there. I was so nervous, but I did it.

Alessia Cara

I like that - I like those little nervous jitters.

Alex Bregman

I've driven cars worth $6 million and now I'm not as nervous because I do it a lot, but I have to keep my wits about me because if I touch anything or scrape one rim, anything could go wrong.

Alex Hirschi

To feel nervous; to feel threatened and vulnerable and alive and engaged in that sense when interacting with someone you're really attracted to? I think that's wonderful. That's usually the best part. In fact, it's almost always downhill from there.

Alex Karpovsky

I get nervous about gigs sometimes, but not with records - I always get excited.

Alex Turner

I didn't feel that I was ready to leave NXT. When I was called up to SmackDown, I was very nervous. I hadn't done many of the things at NXT that I thought I was supposed to. I didn't have a TakeOver match. I never held the title. I only had a few matches on NXT TV and to be called up and told, 'Well, here you go!'

Alexa Bliss

I really don't get nervous when I perform -it's more of an exciting feeling than anything else. But put me in a classroom with kids my age and have me take a test and yeah, I'll be nervous!

Alexa Vega

A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous.

Alexander Hamilton

I think it's normal that, the first time you meet Federer or Murray or Djokovic, you're going to get nervous. But after a while, they become normal opponents, people you see every week. That's the way you have to think. You can't think of them as legends. When you see someone on court, you have to treat every opponent the same way.

Alexander Zverev

God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't.

Alfred Korzybski

And if it's a boy, I will be really nervous because I have no idea what to do with a boy because I am a girl and I have a girl!

Ali Landry

Physical pain however great ends in itself and falls away like dry husks from the mind, whilst moral discords and nervous horrors sear the soul.

Alice James

I never stop getting nervous. I'm nervous before every single show.

Alice Levine

I get really nervous when I'm performing or meeting new people.

Alice Merton

I still get really nervous, though, before each performance. It kind of hits about 15 minutes before we go onstage - sometimes I don't even want to go on. But once I'm onstage I'm fine.

Alison Lohman

I tell residents, if you gave me two patients with identical problems, and one of them had family at the bedside with a lot of laughter, plus photos and a quilt from home, and next door was another patient who was alone every time I came by - I'm going to be very nervous about the isolated patient's mental status.

Allan Hamilton

I don't have any phobias per se, but both tight and vast spaces tend to make me nervous after a prolonged time.

Allison Tolman

Actually I did not hold the baby immediately because I was not confident of myself. I was initially nervous to hold him, so I had to wait for a few days before I could a feel of him.

Allu Arjun

Jane Fonda was at the top of my list of women to meet and the only time I felt nervous about interviewing someone. She is one of the most dynamic women I have ever had the honor of talking to.

Amanda de Cadenet

I get unreasonably nervous before talk shows.

Amanda Seyfried
