Generally speaking, I think it's a good idea to stay conscious of any kind of energy or emotion that you're generating, whether it's at the end of a work day or just in your everyday life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've learned to take care of myself. You know, I try to stay conscious of whatever my energy is at all times, really. I mean, I come home from work, and, depending on the day or depending on what was going on, if I needed to adjust, I'd just meditate, or play guitar, or watch some 'Monty Python.'
I'm always studying something or trying to learn something, keep myself creatively occupied, because I think that energy can get kind of destructive if it doesn't have somewhere to go.
I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.
At the end of the day, I don't need to work, and I think it's good that I have the drive and willpower to get up and do something in the morning even though I don't need to.
I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
There are lots of things that keep me awake at night, but work isn't one of them. I mean, no-one's going to die if someone doesn't like what I do. So I don't feel a great pressure.
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
I'm focused on energy only. And I know what I'm talking about. And I don't want to be distracted on other things.
I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.
