In Europe, people tend to be very respectful. They try not to make too much noise at inappropriate times. In other countries, people can be very still. Sometimes I'm not sure if a crowd is into it until the end, when they usually want me to do something crazy for the encore.

I get asked that a lot: "What do you think your role is, with all the people that look up to you?" I'm an entertainer, you know?
