I've had shows where you think, "Is this going well? I can't tell," and then you say goodnight and you get this ovation. They're sorta like a theater audience. I've learned that much; that they're not always going to be doing backflips - but I'll never figure it out. Because sometimes you walk up there, and they're so excited, and then other times, it's just. . . But sometimes an audience is bad, and you can tell them they're bad, and that sort of breaks the ice a bit.
I don't only long for the thrill of being in the middle of a war, I must understand it; I must make other people understand.
