I'm never gonna be somebody who's gonna fall down from the sky on a trapeze. That's not me. I really want to make sure that my focus stays on connecting with the audience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think a lot of people think I'm doing kind of a character onstage, but what you're really getting is just me.
I don't want to be above my audience; I want to be one with my audience.
On one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to the thing I think I need to say.
If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.
You never know what's going to happen next onstage.
The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
I'm not somebody who no matter where I go there are paparazzi or any of that nonsense. But I have a little window into that world and I can enter it and dance around. I want to be the audience's ticket into the party.
So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.
My audience is going to die before I do.
