It's a pleasure playing your big hit records and it's a real joy to see the audience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If your record doesn't sell that well, man, who cares? All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
I'm just thrilled to see people enjoying the music.
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
I was always more interested in the ultimate live performance rather than the recording for its own sake. And, for the audience too, that thrill of - just being there.
Bear in mind that you are not making music for your own pleasure, but for the pleasure of your audience.
People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.
Interested listeners have only to hear the recording to find out if those guys, who go to such pains to undervalue my work, are right. All people have to do is listen to realize it is a beautiful record.
One of the most wonderful things for me is to watch somebody else perform, where I am the audience - I love this more than ever.
That's the perfect audience: singing along to every word, knowing the songs, appreciating the non-hit songs, stuff like that.
