Making a record? You've got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs. ↗

Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before. ↗

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing. ↗

If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear? ↗
