Every night I get up on stage, I love it. I never get like, 'Oh, I'm bored, I want to go home.' I never, ever get like that.
Am I nervous? Yeah. Am I scared? Sure. But I do this because I love it.
It doesn't matter what medium I perform, I just love to perform in general, if it's good work.
I do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young.
I love performing. I'll never get that out of me.
I don't know what my life would have been like if I'd never gotten into show business.
I've been touring every year since the band broke up. It's my job. It's what I love to do. So I'm all good with it.
There was one tour where I thought, "If I can't get this feeling back of being excited to be on the stage, then I will quit." Because I have friends who have dialed it in and I watch their concerts and shake my head. I'm sure the audience can tell, too.
I love to perform. I've never lost the urge. I've never once been on stage when I didn't want to be.
I love my life, and I love the people that I'm connected to and I love my family and I love what I do, I'm passionate about performing and being onstage. That and meditating and hugging a dog are the only three times I am absolutely sure I will never get a depressed moment. So if I could go from dog-hugging to meditation to being onstage, I'd be good.
Sometimes I'm dragging my ass out to the airport at 8 a.m. on a Saturday and I'm wondering why I'm doing this, but once I walk on stage I know why...because I'm addicted.
To be honest, all I wanted to do, all I ever, ever wanted to do - I just wanted to perform.
I feel like I've been doing performing my entire life. I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten. I didn't have one of those creepy stage moms that made me do stuff. I started bands at a pretty young age and played with my friends back in Detroit. I've always known that I wanted to do this. It was all I was ever interested in doing. I never had, outside of music, any extracurricular activities that I took part in.
