It's easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.

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

I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you're listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs. Now, rather than trying to talk or do a costume change, I'll use those moments for myself. I listen to what other people are playing, or just rest, or dance, even though I don't know how to.

When I play live, I feel how the audience is going and follow and lead at the same time.

I was always more interested in the ultimate live performance rather than the recording for its own sake. And, for the audience too, that thrill of - just being there.

The more I push myself to really live and really experience things and step outside of my comfort zone, the more the songs are allowed to flow.

The live setting is always better for me. I usually thrive at live. I feel like having a band behind me and being able to interact with the crowd helps boost my energy up.

My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd.
