On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.

The first thing that I do when I come out every night is to look at the faces in front of me, very individually.

I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

[It was a show that could have the audience singing along to a joyful] Blinded by the Light ... The Promised Land.

I'm in search of how to take the stuff I've written and make sure the audience hears it fresh again. It's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed it.

I'm not in any rush. I'm not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That's not something I've ever really quite done.
