Q: “Do you find audiences in different parts of the world receive music differently?”

A: “Well, generally, they're all the same. People are all the same everywhere. If the music is good enough, they like it. But some performers are inclined to get sloppy now and then and I think it's very important that you have to be on your toes every minute. Because the people in the audience know what you are not, and if you do the best for them, they let you know it and if anything is wrong, the also let you know it. So you just have to try to be with it all the time, I think.”
