Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and the psyche than living with the brain-squeezing pressure and cares of being the Star.

Dick Cavett

It has gotten worse as I'm becoming more successful. My nerves. Just because there's a bit more pressure, and people are expecting a lot more from me.

Adele

Success Worse Use

Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn't be triggered by a normal voice.

Akon

Your Body Your You

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

Alan Rickman

You Touch Tin

How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.

Alan Watts

Music Men God

I always played on my nerves - on the edge.

Alex Higgins

Ways Way T

The head-banging music gives me a headache. Katy Perry is fun, Rihanna, old-school '90s hip-hop. Salt-N-Pepa. I like listening to that. Get the nerves out before the games.

Alex Morgan

Moscow is a big city. It's all nerves - something's always happening somewhere. D.C. is a quiet, calm family town.

Alexander Ovechkin

Family Where Ways

Joe E. Lewis said, 'Money doesn't buy happiness but it calms the nerves.' And that is how I feel about a film being well-received.

Alexander Payne

Money Happiness Well

I've never been good at getting on people's nerves, and from the little quotes I read, it's like, 'You're not doing enough in your life if you're not making someone angry.' And I'm like, 'Man. But my life - I seem to help people get somewhere, so am I not? Should I be more aggressive?' That's the way my inside voice sounds.

Biological anthropology tends to focus on skeletons because that's what is often left behind in the ground, but I am a whole-body anatomist, I'm a clinical anatomist and that's what I teach, I teach it all, not just the skeleton, the muscles and nerves, blood vessels.

Alice Roberts

Whole Who Vessel

When it's wet, you're much more tense on the steering wheel, you have to dance with the throttle and the brakes more. Each lap is a different scenario, so you're really on the edge of your nerves. One mistake could cost you the entire race.

Allan McNish

Your You Wit

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

Amelie Mauresmo

Win Wanted Want

There is no point in getting nervous. I get a few butterflies in my stomach, but it isn't really nerves but things that will help your game.

Andrew Robertson

Your You Will

Everyone will clearly be a bit nervous and scared before going onstage. But what I do is just remember that this is my passion. Once I get on the stage and see everyone smiling and looking at me, the joy that it brings to me makes me forget all about my nerves.

Anthony Gonzalez

Car Age Will

I'm confident and when you have power like me, it relaxes your nerves.

Anthony Yarde

Power Your You

Netanyahu is pressured easily, gets into a panic, and loses his senses... to run a country like Israel a leader needs to have reason and judgment and nerves of steel, two traits he does not have.

Ariel Sharon

Men Ya UN

As I've got older, the nerves aren't there anymore; they just left one day when I was at Watford. I only feel excitement now, whatever the game.

Ashley Young

Men Whatever Us

I suffer greatly from nerves. I have stage-fright badly, and it gets worse, but the stage is still my life.

Barry Humphries

Life Great Age

For my TakeOver matches, I was always just a huge mess, a huge ball of nerves.

Bayley

Ways Way Us

I am extremely nervous before anything. People who say they aren't nervous are telling a white lie. Nerves get you going, as you are playing for so much at the highest level.

Ben Stokes

You Yin Who

I personally don't know what nerves are. I don't get scared when I'm going to play music. But I think something, maybe my fears, are buried into my songs. Because I'm singing them.

Benjamin Clementine

It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.

Benjamin Disraeli

Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.

Bernard DeVoto

I've had to ban my mum from coming to see me play. She gets so nervous before any show. I've always got a few nerves but she's so much worse than me. You'd think she'd be able to handle that kind of situation. After all, she is a concert pianist.

Birdy

Let me be accurate in everything, for though you and I have seen some strange things together, you may at the first think that I, Van Helsing, am mad. That the many horrors and the so long strain on nerves has at the last turn my brain.

Bram Stoker

There's always a bit of nerves that come with expectations and new situations.

Brendon Urie

There's always nerves when you're releasing something.

Brendon Urie

I've taken up sculpting. I thought it might help the nerves in my hands.

Bret Hart

I've been there for every world title fight my family have been involved in. I've been there in the changing rooms. I've experienced the nerves - perhaps more when it's not me and when it's one of them.

Callum Smith

It's cool to be nervous, and how the nerves come out sideways. That's why some actors scream their heads off, or it comes out in their hair.

Callum Turner

When I compete, I love a huge crowd, expectation, pressure, and I like to have nerves: the butterflies flying and my hands shaking. This way, I am completely amped, focused, and ready; otherwise, I tend to be to relaxed, content, and don't perform at my maximal potential.

Caroline Buchanan

I listen to worship music before the game to calm my nerves and just go out and have fun. It's a game, and I try to enjoy it.

Carson Wentz

Before getting on 'The Voice,' I was very critical and judgmental of people's vocals. After getting on the show, I was so nervous, I realized my low notes were gone, so nerves do take a big toll on your voice.

Cassadee Pope

I have this system. I torture my husband and everyone around me with my nerves and anxiety. Then, when I get on stage, the fear is gone. I've exhausted myself. It just dissipates.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

I'm just so lucky - my office is a racetrack. That is something I'm very thankful for. It's exciting, and it's challenging, and there are a lot of emotions and nerves that come with it, but right there before the gates open, before that minute and a half or two minutes of the race, it just hits you.

Chantal Sutherland

Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!

Charles Dickens

It's tough, but I have to remember that this is my passion and what I love, and that's how I keep the nerves from kicking in.

Charlotte Dujardin

I'm really lucky that I can control my nerves; it doesn't seem to get to me.

Charlotte Dujardin

There are times I felt insecure or not sure: I'm unsure of myself, or I get nervous, but nerves are good. I try and embrace all those things. I try and embrace the times where I'm not sure of myself or I'm like, 'Is this going to work? Is this going to land?'

Chelsea Handler

I always say I should do more yoga. Or do yoga - more would mean I do some. I've done none. But I always want to do yoga because I'm getting old. Nerves are getting pinched every other day, and I really just gotta get more limber.

Chris Evans

I don't know, I think everybody deals with nerves and adrenaline a little bit differently.

Clayton Kershaw

I think nerves are part and parcel of working as an actor. You can either work against them or you can embrace them, and I very much embrace them.

Cody Fern

Actually, I failed drama in high school because of nerves. I wasn't able to memorize the words. I had complete stage fright.

Constance Marie

In the past, before games, I would near enough make myself ill. Nerves and stuff.

Craig Bellamy

I think the whole nerves thing comes into play when we worry about what other people and society will think.

Dana Plato

Miz and I have known each other for a long time, and we really know, like, how to get at each other's nerves.

Daniel Bryan

I don't really play off nerves. I just want to win.

Danny Welbeck

We don't get too nervous for too may things, but on television a few million people are sitting there watching. Definitely a lot more nerves.

Dave Haywood

Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and the psyche than living with the brain-squeezing pressure and cares of being the Star.

Dick Cavett

If nerves undo you, then you're unlikely to make it as a top footballer.
