Performing is a profound experience, at least for me.

Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. It's not as if I sit down and play 'Fire and Rain' by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up... the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.

Performing is an experience, for me, that is as humbling as it is energizing.

I feel like with every performance that I see, I get better because I've always thought - while I'm watching people perform - of what I would do.

Performing, for me, has always been a very inner process.

Giving a good performance, giving it all is what it's all about. I love to perform.

I'm a performer and have managed to get my performing into the mainstream consciousness of the world, I guess.

I enjoy performing, always, but when you're taping a gig, you've got to blank out this mass apparatus of self-consciousness that's surrounding you, this invitation to drown in self-consciousness. Otherwise you just won't be able to do anything.

I always go in with the feeling that I'm gonna have a good time in what I'm doing. I entertain myself when I perform. If I do that, then I can see the other performers enjoying my character.

Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.
