Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.

I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
