Showing your movie to an audience... it's like your kid doing a piano recital. 'Just let it not fail. Please.'
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
I haven't had a big hit record in America since 1987.
And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy.
A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.
Some records are going to be bigger than others. You're always going to be compared to your biggest record.
In boxing, you get hit, it's painful, then you sit on the stool when the adrenaline is gone and you feel that pain. And then you fight the next round.
One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.
When you're making a record, you try to achieve stylistically what fits on you. Like a good old coat, you know what I mean?
