You never really know what's going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they're going to behave.

Of course, I do occasionally arouse primeval instincts, but I mean, most men can do that. They can't do it to so many. I just happen to be able to do it to several thousand people. It's fun to do that.
