Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I'd be very happy. It's not my favorite thing to do.

I love having the opportunity to perform, and I hate not being given the opportunity to perform.

I get scared as crap to perform but I push myself to do it. I don't know what I would be doing without it.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.

I always had the desire to perform. If it wasn't my career now, I'd still be doing amateur dramatics. It's just something you love, and when you get paid to do it, you pinch yourself every day.

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.

I don't do anything I don't want to do. There are so many opportunities that come my way, but if there's something out there that I don't want to do, I truly don't do it, because I have to maximize my time. If there's truly an opportunity to be quiet and be by myself, I do it.

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?

There's so many other things I want to do. I don't want to do them to be different or just for a challenge, but because my heart and soul tell me to.

I don't want to be totally repetitive and doing the same thing over and over again for the rest of my life. I don't want to do that at all.
