The above comment was made by one of the great performers in Sri Lanka. The point to be highlighted is, it is not something unusual. Even the most admiring performers have the stage fright, not only you and me.
Stage fright, performance anxiety is the fear, anxiety someone might be having when speaking in front of an audience. Glossophobia is the scientific name for this. The main reason for this would be the feeling troubling the presenter that "Others will think I am stupid". Other than this there are some other reasons as well.
Lack of confidence
Trying to achieve perfectionism
Past experience
Avoidance
In order to avoid this problem, there are many ways of controlling. The main factor i would say is improve your self confidence. Because it might affect very badly if necessary actions were not taken at the proper time.
Practicing is another method which will reduce the stage fright. There is a very common saying that "Practice make you perfect" and it does. Breathing exercise also would help to get rid of stage fright as it makes u focus and build up the self confidence.
Most importantly while working towards loosing the stage fright, a person must understand that when you are performing, it's you who is presenting. Others are there in the audience but you have the control. And this is not something only you are having but most of the people around the world.
