I have no envy of anyone. I love to say that... instead of, "Oh boy, I should be doing that." There's nothing that I have GOT to do. I do things because of the personal enjoyment it brings, or I feel, that by doing it, there is going to be good that is brought to other people. What I do can help people. I don't feel pressured into doing anything. I am not pressuring myself into things. It's not that I'm lowering a bar, per say... because that bar will always be there. But I know that eventually I will reach that bar. That's all it's about. Eventually, I will... I can say that because I am in a good place. For me. And that's all I want to be. Me.

My greatest talent is my ability to communicate with an audience. I don't think there are many other performers alive who can communicate with an audience like I do. I mean that in a sense of sizing them up, and understanding what they want from me. I think that's why theatre, why acting, is such a departure for me. In front of the audience, I am confined to use the hammers and nails of someone else's toolbox. I admire actors who can take role after role, with whatever is in their toolbox, and build a house. That's a truly remarkable thing to me. Actors don't have the option of re-routing the course three minutes into the journey because of a certain energy of an audience. Actors plow forward.

I am so glad that in working as a concert performer, I can guide the emotions of the audience. I have that ability. But it's a responsibility, as well. A heavy one, at that. I allow myself that vulnerability. I want to get their feelings. I want to know what's going on with them.

I would like people to say about me, he tried. He tried to do something. That is it. That's all anyone can do. Try.
