I feel like a little beast when I'm onstage, and I feel like my fans have that little beast inside of them, too: this hunger for life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
I suddenly got used to that feeling of being in control, which I never, ever feel when I'm not onstage - a feeling that you're the master of your own universe.
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'm on tour, I'm in a new city every single night, and the energy and the crowds and the kids and the screaming and them knowing every single word of my music and being onstage is such an energetic feeling with a big payoff.
If I walk out onstage and I get a warm, excited response, it makes me feel so confident and happy, and then it's so easy for me up there.
I'm always curious about anyone who has enough passion to go onstage and say, 'This is what I'm really passionate about.' It's always worth listening to.
Onstage is the one time in my day that I can let it all out.
So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.
I feel so much at home onstage and so comfortable in my body.
I feel like I have a job to do, like I constantly have to reinvent myself. The more I up the ante for myself, the better it is in the long run. I try to interact with my fans as much as possible. It's good that the person I'm being onstage isn't really an act. It's really me.
