I find it an effort to keep up appearances.
I have learned to smile when I wasn't happy, to sing when I didn't feel like it, and to do things just to please my fans.
Ego suppression can be an act of ostentation.
Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be.--PERFORMANCE
I think some people ramp a side of themselves up for performance purposes.
I'm quite subdued, believe it or not. I switch it on for the camera.
People see me as someone who doesn't take any crap from anyone - which I don't - but it's my shtick, and I obviously don't act like that all the time.
