We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more. ↗

Presenting statues of honor to reporters for covering an earthquake is like presenting a first prize to a doctor for performing surgery. ↗

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard. ↗

I love performing on stage the most. It's getting that instant reaction from a live audience. There are no boundaries, you can take your character as far as you want to, you can be the craziest person ever. ↗

Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle. ↗

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter. ↗

Now, performing is second nature and I love every second of it. It is a very emotional thing when I can't play a song; maybe I'm hitting on something that I don't want to deal with. All of it is so personal. It is like therapy. ↗
