I like the physical activity of gardening. It's kind of thrilling. I do a lot of weeding.

I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.

I did it for a living, made a career out of it, but now I've turned it into somewhat of a hobby.

I don't think I would've been performing this long if I didn't love it sincerely to the degree that I do. It's not enough to like it. Dilettantes like things. Professionals love things and I consider myself a professional.

I want to be embraced by the audience, but it's fun to stir up the pot.

I enjoy what I do, but it's more challenging than people think.

Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.

I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. That's the same view I have for performing. I'm performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home.

It's fun to get out in the field. I really enjoy that. It's fun creating.

Performing is my passion. Being onstage is at once exhilarating, beguiling, and fulfilling. But it's hard.
