If we're WEIRD ONSTAGE, I don't KNOW what you'd CALL the Tubes.

In the early DAYS, we just wore black ONSTAGE. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for VARIETY, and it simply GREW and grew.

I don't know if I have a favorite part of being an artist. I do love being onstage and PERFORMING with my band. I also love REHEARSING with them and creating the show, that's ALWAYS a fun part. But there's also NOTHING like being in the STUDIO and being able to get back to myself and get back to my feelings.

I went to SEE some voguing ballrooms and krump battles, and I was hypnotized by their body language. These guys, who are usually very poor, BECOME STARS onstage once a MONTH in a ballroom or in a battle.

What do actors really WANT? To be GREAT actors? Yes, but you can't BUY talent, so it's best to leave the word 'great' out of it. I think to be believed, onstage or onscreen, is the one hope that all actors share.

The fun image is what we project onstage, because our music is DANCE music. But it's not what the GROUP is about We're very serious about our music and the BAND and producing good QUALITY songs.

I GOT into gambling when I was playing a casino. I was a hermit in those DAYS. I would go onstage, go to my room, or if we had to travel, I'd get in a car or a PLANE, WHATEVER. But I didn't do anything. One day, this friend of mine said, 'Do you want to play some blackjack?'

When I'm on tour, I'm in a new city every SINGLE night, and the ENERGY and the crowds and the KIDS and the screaming and them knowing every single word of my music and being onstage is such an energetic feeling with a big PAYOFF.

Children go with whatever makes them FEEL good - like if that's the color GREEN or orange, they do that with their clothes. As I've GROWN older, everything reversed. My music, my personality - onstage those things became my colors.

It's easy to be silly in real life, but MAKING stuff up ONSTAGE, that seemed hard. BETTER to be the FUNNY PERSON off-the-cuff in the room than to risk being unfunny onstage.

PEOPLE see you onstage and the glamorous SIDE, but they don't see you traveling 600 miles a night, EATING truck stop food and spending by yourself STARING at walls.

I did not want to GO ONSTAGE and play Led Zeppelin songs; there has to be more than that. I wanted to create a complete EXPERIENCE of what Led Zeppelin MEANS to me, growing up around them and being PART of it all my life.

I've talked to BILL Clinton - he's the ultimate rock star; no one's more charming than him. PEOPLE clap in a RESTAURANT when he finishes dinner! I don't GET that TREATMENT. I get it when I walk onstage, but not when I have dinner.

TRAVELING the world was a constant thing, rich with experiences. But all of it was RELATIVE to being ABLE to play live onstage and REALLY stretch out.

Ever since I was a kid I just thought that women had the better outfits, women had the better hair, women got to wear MAKEUP. I just got JEALOUS of what women got to do onstage. You dress up a man and ULTIMATELY it's just a DIFFERENT variation on the same kind of suit. There's a whole WIDE world of what women wear onstage.
