I've realized that I can do performances.

People tend to remember my performances, not me.

I always felt like there were always egos involved when I was trying to get music finished in New Order. Sometimes it would feel like I was running through water.

I am a performer. I go on stage and make a fool of myself.

I finally felt that I came into my own when I went on the stage.

The ego certainly is the biggest obstacle as an artist or performer, so any chance you get to destroy that is really healthy.

Everything that I hate about myself goes away when I was onstage.

It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.

I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success.
