If I'm playing music in front of people, I'll lose days to nerves like really wasted days of just like being terrified. And then when I get out there, generally speaking, I enjoy it very much.

People are incredibly rude about it sometimes. Like What? You're married? Strange reaction to have. Proves what people's ideas about marriage are. We're having a baby. What? As if it's the end of the world. Of course, it's the start of a brilliant world.
