Playing in arenas, that's very non-personal with the crowd.

It's fun playing small venues.

When you play arenas you can create whatever you want. At a theater the height of the stage and the limitations of the theater can make you feel more separate from the audience.

As much as we love playing the small clubs, we'd really like to get ourselves in front of a larger audience. I'm not talking about arenas or anything, but nice theaters and larger clubs.

I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.

Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.

It's a different thing playing in a smaller venue where you can actually see people's faces and reactions. It's so much more intimate. You walk away with a more personal experience.

A small venue is so much more intimate and loose. You can actually be more spontaneous, I feel.

I just like playing music and doing it with people that I care about. It doesn't really matter where. It's like, 'Why don't we just play piano in a small bar? Why do we want to make an arena full of people happy?'

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
