I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

I tend to be hypercritical of my performances. That's why I hate watching them with people I know.

I've seen my performances. I don't like them.

You just can't walk into a venue, sit behind your drums, and expect to play a great show. It'll never happen.

If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.

I enjoy theatre tremendously, and there's nothing like a live performance.

Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.

I have very simple ambitions. If I can just not be boring, I'm ahead of the game. It's hard in television. I think you get enormous reward from the audience. Just give them something they didn't see coming, and you get enormous points.
