Sometimes I just rely on technique on stage, but it's not about technique. It's about how much you want to deliver the message to the audience. That's all.

I have always been interested in having people fall into the image and be aware of their reaction first, and then think about the style.

Sometimes technique works better than a whole lot of other things.

It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.

Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.

For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.
