On stage fright- Michael Caine

“It’s not one of the glamorous sides of theatre, but on first nights in the theatre, there’s always a bucket by the side in case you want to throw up just before you go onstage, you know. And I used to do that quite regularly. I remember once, I was playing a psychiatrist, and I read this phrase, which stuck in my mind. It said, ‘You become what you are afraid of.’ I was a very shy child. If anyone came to our house, I would hide behind the curtains. I didn’t want to talk or see anybody. And I think I became an actor to overcome that fear. I became what I was afraid of, in other words.” [NPR, 2010]
