Yes, I mean, There's nothing like it. There is an added sense of pressure because of that, but there's also nothing like the thrill you get being in the same space with that audience right there and then. And when you do it, it's over.

You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.

It's the adrenaline rush you only get from being in front of an audience. It's addictive.

The principle element in a performance is risk, and if you're losing interest then by scaring yourself to death the audience will feel it and boy it'll wake them up.

I'm exhausted almost all the time.

The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.

You are an athlete when you're onstage. You can't get tired.

When you're entertaining all day long and that's your work, you end up really very tired. You don't have a lot of energy left over for your loved ones.

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.
