I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
There's real drama in performing live. You never know how it's going to be.
At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.
It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.
I think a lot of people think I'm doing kind of a character onstage, but what you're really getting is just me.
I have to remind myself constantly that people actually want to hear the music I've made; that's hard for me to digest. I think a live audience is the only tangible evidence you can have that your work is making an impact. It's really humbling.
I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances. My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears or inspiration. Otherwise, why should I do it?
I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.
I tend to be hypercritical of my performances. That's why I hate watching them with people I know.
