Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no like 'I'll be the rock star you be the adulating fan.'

I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music the ups and downs of the audience.

No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way definitely.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

Cinema is visually powerful it is a complete experience reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

I love making movies but there's nothing like being in front of an audience.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy in drama in horror movies in different kinds of movies.
