I really, really love being on stage now.

It's an awesome thing to be flung out onto the stage twice a weekend in front of 250 people, and you have to make it up as you go along.

In real life we don't know what's going to happen next. So how can you be that way on a stage? Being alive to the possibility of not knowing exactly how everything is going to happen next - if you can find places to have that happen onstage, it can resonate with an experience of living.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

Being on stage makes me come to life. When all eyes are on you, they're watching every move you make.

Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy.

A life being enacted onstage is a thing of utter fascination for me. And acting, it may begin out of vanity, but you hope that it's taken over by something else. I hope I've climbed over the vanity hurdle.

When I come onstage, I'm exploding.
