I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
I need to get as deep as I can into my own heart to really make people connect and react to the music as passionate as possible.
I do feel almost violent when I'm watching things that I don't think are good enough. I get furious for the audience. I want to say to them, 'This play is not supposed to be like this. They've got it completely wrong. You should be electrified by this.'
Jive for me always gets me panting and burning the most.
I want to put out music I really believe in, and when I felt that was threatened, I lashed out at everybody.
I do love to sing Jacques Brel songs, intensely. I get terribly excited, just by reading a couple of lines in any one of his songs.
To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I think that's a fantastic reaction. I think that they're really hearing something then.
