Interesting quote –
You write about how being on stage is almost like medicine for you?
Sure!
Does it get you out of yourself?
Oh, of course. You’re immediately pulled out of the inside of your head. I have been on stage on a few occasions where I felt I couldn’t escape the interior of my interior thoughts, but Peter Wolf once said,
“What’s the strangest thing you can do onstage? Think about what you’re doing.”
