Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.

I've always been a performer. That's just what I know.

Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer.

I'm a performer.

I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to.

Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.

I've been performing my whole life.

I've always been a performer. I love doing impressions of people and being the clown.

I'm not, like, a natural performer. It's sort of a thing that I've had to learn to do.
