#onstage

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness. ↗

Sometimes I'm more true when I'm up onstage than I'm able to be in my regular life. It's not as exciting to be at home, but I've got to learn how to make that work, and then I will be an ordinary woman. ↗

I'm Method trained. How is this character like me? What does she think of her mother? What does her mother think of her? It's like construction, and then, yes, you hope you're talented and that the universe aligns and captures the kind of laborer's work you've done and whatever else sprinkles down on you, and it's all caught on film or onstage. ↗

To me, getting to do music and videos, you work on a character. Being onstage is acting; you get to be larger than life and larger than yourself. ↗

However I am is however I am. When you see me onstage or in the press, there's not a lot of thought and calculation that goes into it. ↗

While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio. ↗
