I mean, there's definitely a difference between film and live performances or live television. But at the same time, it's just performing. No matter what, it's performing.

I love making movies, but there's nothing like performing live.

Playing live is closer to theatre, although when you're up there on your own, it's quite scary and revealing because you're playing your own songs. It's like a one man show that you've written yourself.

There's real drama in performing live. You never know how it's going to be.

The studio work is the nasty, tedious, hard and nerve-wracking part, interrupted by moments of exhilaration. Playing live is the chance to actually have some fun and get on a stage.

Live theatre provides a rush you can't get in film or television. But it is the TV and film work that offers the leisure to go off and do a play.

Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There's nothing like a live audience.

For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.

Playing live is such a total visceral experience, and really, as a musician, you're trained from the beginning to be a live performer.
