I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.

Rollins contrasts the controlled exposure of performance with the vulnerability of ordinary social interaction. On stage, scrutiny is structured: he has a role, a script or set, and a purpose, so being watched feels manageable. Off stage, communication is messier—requiring small talk, emotional reciprocity, and unguarded presence. The quote frames his art as a primary language: he can express intensity, ideas, and feeling through music, spoken word, or writing more fluently than through casual conversation. It also hints at the paradox of public figures who appear fearless before crowds yet experience interpersonal difficulty in private life.
