I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.
We’re in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country, and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.
I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film’s abrasive and wrongfoots people then, y’know, that’s great. But I hope it involves an audience.
I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
There’s no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I’d sit down and doze off.
Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope, how much further wilt thou lead me?
I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself… I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.
