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

Onstage I'm the one in control - I'm not at the mercy of how an editor chooses to put the scene together later. I can do things onstage that I would never do in real life. It's very freeing.

I guess there's this mind shift that happens once you're on stage. I don't know, chemicals, something happens and you just... I just become completely in control of where I am. And it's all about trusting the people that you're on the stage with, listening... and it just falls into place really easily.

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.

I used to be more involved with every aspect of everything onstage. I'm way more relaxed now. It feels like anything can happen.

I've felt emotions onstage that I never felt before; it has strengthened me as a person and as an artist.

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

Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.

I feel like I have a job to do, like I constantly have to reinvent myself. The more I up the ante for myself, the better it is in the long run. I try to interact with my fans as much as possible. It's good that the person I'm being onstage isn't really an act. It's really me.
