Q: “Why don’t you like to be a week in a club?”

A: “Well, I prefer concerts to clubs for one obvious reason that in a concert, you have an audience that has a beginning, a middle and an end. They're there for the continuity of what happens. In a club, your audience changes, you know, so for me, the evening is one whole performance, but for an audience, they're only concerned with whatever set they happen to hear and I prefer it the other way.”
