You can judge a leader by the size of the problem he tackles. Other people can cope with the waves, it's his job to watch the tide.
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.
I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.
