I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.

I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.

'Encores!' is, to me, a wonderful, warm, welcoming place, and I hope it always will be.

I've seen nearly every Encores! show. I love the second acts so much because you just see desperation and inspiration in equal measure.

It was most exciting when people first came up on the stage and then when they came back for the encore. We wanted to make a show that kept on developing, that was interesting, so we tried to do that with our live shows.

Five or six songs leaked from the original version of 'Encore.' So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them.

I do not, as a rule, do encores. When I have finished playing, I have indeed finished playing. I have nothing left; there has been no reserve.

It wasn't just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.

Actually, after the release of the Bond film, the producers came back to me to offer me another one, but I didn't have any juice left for an immediate encore.

The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world.
