I lay them out on a coffee table and writing that out just like cements it all in my head, solidifies it all in my head and then it’s just about getting fired up.”

That means I’ve done the clubs I developed and then I went to theaters and started feeling it…You can’t just go up in front of 16,000 people not knowing whether or not it’s going to go…You have to be tuned in and ready to go. And yeah, you gotta go out there with a lot of energy because, you know, this person like they got f*cking babysitter.
