Being on stage is magic. There's nothing like it. You feel the energy of everybody who's out there. You feel it all over your body. When the lights hit you, it's all over, I swear it is.

My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

A lot of people can't stand touring, but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.

I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.
