Everything I've done I've always kind of jumped in headfirst, and it's been a learning curve. Even MuchMusic, I had never done live television before, and all of a sudden you show up, and they're like, 'You ready kid? Let's go.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs. Now, rather than trying to talk or do a costume change, I'll use those moments for myself. I listen to what other people are playing, or just rest, or dance, even though I don't know how to.
I feel my live shows are my music; everything blossoms from the live shows.
Television is a different challenge; it is not a stage. But each opportunity that I have to learn I learn, and I take the opportunity to work.
Every time I see a live performance of something, I'm like, 'I want to be doing that!'
I started off doing live TV, so I kind of learnt that if I get myself into trouble, I get myself out of it.
At first I didn't know if I wanted to do TV again. I can get bored quickly.
It's so important to me that I feel like I'm doing something that's never been done before, whether that's in the show, or I'm writing a song. I can exist in this little box here, but I have to do something new with it.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
I started in live television and I've done a lot of live TV and that's really the thing that I love best. I love flying by the seat of my pants.
I had never done TV. I think it's a foolish medium for, most rock 'n roll music. Nobody ever comes off well on TV.
