I expect the audience to come up to my level. I am not interested in compromising my music to make it palatable to an assumed sub-standard mass.
It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.
After 12 years, the old butterflies came back. Well, I guess at my age you call them moths.
