It's work to play the same songs the same way for 70 shows.
I stopped performing because I don't have the temperament of a performer. You have to want to do the same thing over and over again. Once I got it right, I didn't want to do it again. I always use the analogy of a novelist who has to read his novel in public night after night. I just didn't want to do it.
I don't love plays. I don't love doing the same thing, every night, for 100 nights in a row.
I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time.
If you're not careful as an actor, you can find yourself, at a certain point, a little bit bored.
I don't like to do the same songs every night for a week. I just... it's boring and tiring and frustrating basically.
It has to be really interesting for me to perform the same role for 365 days non-stop. It becomes taxing for an actor to perform the same character for 12 hours every day, and then, after a point, there's no growth.
I don't want to say the same lines every night.
After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.
