Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There's nothing like a live audience.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

When you put the musical in front of an audience, you get to see how the audience reacts.

Playing live is closer to theatre, although when you're up there on your own, it's quite scary and revealing because you're playing your own songs. It's like a one man show that you've written yourself.

When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.

I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head.

There is always something wonderful about a live audience.

In a live performance, it's a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd's energy. On television, you don't have that.

Playing in front of an audience was just such a turn-on for me, and you have 200 people in the audience and it's like doing live theater. And filming something that goes to millions of people several weeks later, it's an interesting dynamic.
