To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me to go back and to play for audiences some of whom have been following me for thirty years and some who have found me in the last five or six years, that's really an interesting thing. I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.
It's true: theatre has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I always liked everything about it. As a child, I used to get so excited about performing, I'd get the giggles.
All my life I wanted to play music with love to every member of the audience.
My audience was my life. What I did and how I did it, was all for my audience.
Ever since I was really little, I loved performing and being up on stage, and being the entertainment.
I've always wanted to stay involved with young people. I never bought into the idea that entertainers owe nothing to their audience except a good performance.
I liked being on stage; I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.
The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.
I've always had live audiences.
It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.
