Hopefully, everyone has the same feeling I do when they perform. I get such a thrill from getting to play make believe. My favorite place to be is trying to be somebody else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always go in with the feeling that I'm gonna have a good time in what I'm doing. I entertain myself when I perform. If I do that, then I can see the other performers enjoying my character.
I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty. I think, my God, I hope no one comes and busts me for this.
I never aspired to be in a band, but being onstage is a very cool feeling. It's like you're the lord of the room. It's hard to croon and run around doing big scissor kicks while also trying to play, though. I'm still mastering that.
I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.
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.
I love performing. I can get to be that person I always wanted to be - godlike.
Performing has been part of my life since I was eight years old, so that's what I think I do. I don't think about the fact that it happens to be in a bigger venue where people get to know you, or they think they do.
I just always loved to perform and I was lucky enough to be in front of the right people at the right time!
Performing is my passion. Being onstage is at once exhilarating, beguiling, and fulfilling. But it's hard.
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.
