Live shows are fun - sometimes. But you have to practice for months on end.

Playing shows and making records keeps been getting easier and more fun.

It's very rare to have rehearsal time on a television show: You get scripts, you show up, and you do it.

I still enjoy performing, whether it's in front of two people or 2,000 people, but it's not fun once you leave the big show.

There's a special joy you get having a show on the air that people are interested in and wanting to know what happens next. You really want to enjoy that while you have it.

I don't think of it so much as the shows I did or the film sets. I mean, sometimes you'll get a nice location, but it's more, 'Who am I meeting on a day-to-day basis?' Often the rehearsals are a lot more fun than the show itself.

There's nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There's nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That's the best job in the world.

In a live performance, it's a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd's energy. On television, you don't have that.

We're all in the same room, so I want people to be involved with one another, but again you can't decide exactly to what extent that operates. It varies all the time and it depends on the show, it depends on the audience, it depends on everything.

Being performers, that's what we do: We put on shows and want people to watch.
