When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.

Once I'm on stage, the energy of the crowd wipes my nerves away.

The adrenaline of performing on stage to a crowd - there's nothing like it.

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

Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears.

I've felt emotions onstage that I never felt before; it has strengthened me as a person and as an artist.

When I was onstage doing the work, adrenaline killed the pain because I never hurt in front of an audience.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

There's something about being in a house with an audience, and having that immediate feedback. I started acting because of that energy; it's what feeds me on stage and informs my choices.

Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. It's not as if I sit down and play 'Fire and Rain' by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up... the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions.
