When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.

When I'm on stage, it's like a different world ... me connecting with the audience. It's a surreal experience.

Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There's nothing like a live audience.

In real life we don't know what's going to happen next. So how can you be that way on a stage? Being alive to the possibility of not knowing exactly how everything is going to happen next - if you can find places to have that happen onstage, it can resonate with an experience of living.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

I have this sensation of being in flight all the time, but being on stage is like creating a sanctuary in which you can completely lose yourself. The bits of your personality that you keep under wraps in ordinary life, you can let them run free.

Over the course of a day, you get to get a feel for where you're playing, so when you get out on stage, you already feel like you've had a bit of a bonding experience with them.

You've got to keep the stage world and your real world separated or you're headed for trouble.

The stage is where I feel most comfortable, and I miss it all the time.

I want to do stage again, because there just aren't words for how great it is. People say that all the time, 'There's nothing like live theater, blah blah,' but it's really true. I see a show and I know how they feel, and it feels great.
