I don't think I'd want a revival. I'm not doing a tribute to myself.

The challenge of a revival is how to bring something fresh. The reward is the opportunity to add different flourishes. You're dealing with different actors, designers and a different time.

Even with revivals, I don't really pay attention to previous incarnations. I always just go with the script and with the director and am willing to treat it as brand new.

There have always been revivals. Some have always been successful. And many of them have failed.

They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good.

When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

We all know that change is inevitable. It provides us with a challenge and an opportunity to grow and improve and to attract new members with new ideas.

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

My only general rule was to steer away from things I played with the band over the past couple of tours. I was interested in re-shaping the Rising material for live shows, so people could hear the bare bones of that.
