I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it.

After every tour, I think about hanging up the touring hat, and after a while of not working, I'm ready to play. I think I enjoy playing music more than I enjoy not playing music.
It is very satisfying for an actor to be able to play a historical personage.
I have just a really strong love for people when I perform. I really do.
A lot of people get a high from being onstage. I found ways to enjoy it. But I get it from being in the studio.

As an actor in these movies you get to fill up something so much, to its capacity, and once you get there you're like a horse running onto the racetrack.
