For me, the focus are songs, which really get the audience moving.

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

I want the audience to be so involved in the sweep of the music.

The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven't quite managed that yet.

My music is - I don't want to say my main focus, but it's what comes most naturally to me.

Immediate, simultaneous connection between the audience and a performer is crucial to me. It's why I do what I do. Other things, like recording, are satisfying, but they're not the same. I love the connection I get with the audience when I'm sitting behind that piano.

I am my own audience. I always picture me and my mates and think, 'What would we enjoy listening to?'

The music I make and the process of acting, for me, are both about trying to understand people and get inside what makes us tick. That's the main thing that excites me. Our sense of who we really are and what drives us.

I feel like what I owe my audience is what I'm most passionate about.
