Stage Quotes
-
You can reveal yourself on stage in a way that you can't on TV. If you drop a character on TV, it's death. Each character has to be ruthlessly, faultlessly played. But live, you can hint at what's going on behind. You can let the audience in a bit and go off the script.

I basically rechanneled all the athleticism and adrenaline, and everything that's exciting about sports into music. That was my secret weapon, because in Ukrainian punk rock scene - where everything was very gloomy - being athletic was not cool. I didn't publicize anything about my sport past, but I rolled in onstage with a background nobody had, and I became instantly recognized as the wildest performer in the punk-rock scene.

We don't go on about trying to save the Brazilian rain forest. We're not ashamed of the fact that we can write lyrics like Let's Get Rocked which 99 percent of the world thinks is completely ridiculous, stupid and immature. If George Bush stood up on stage and pretended to be Eddie Van Halen that would be ridiculous, so when I see the Billy Braggs of this world using music as a soapbox it pisses me off. Music should always entertain, first and foremost. Nobody would take us seriously if we did songs like shut the ozone layer, save the rain forests, stop killing people in Bosnia. Everybody would laugh at us. I'd rather listen to Noddy Holder (Slade) sing about nothing at all than do a duet with Sinead O'Connor. We're not that desperate for publicity. We'll always be Leppard.
