"You know sometimes I just want to curl up on stage and lie there for a while - it's weird"
- Michael Hutchence
About this Quote
This quote by Michael Hutchence suggests that there are times when he feels vulnerable and overwhelmed by the pressure of carrying out on phase. He might be expressing an inner desire to detach and pull away from the spotlight, to simply release and permit himself to rest on stage. The phrase "curl up" connotes a sense of comfort and safety, practically as if he wants to cover himself in a protective cocoon. Overall, the statement appears to reflect the complex and frequently conflicting feelings that come with being an entertainer, the pressure to entertain, and the need for self-care and psychological release.
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
