I grew up in the '50s, in New York City, where television was born. There were 90 live shows every week, and they used a lot of kids. There were schools just for these kids. There was a whole world that doesn't exist anymore.
There are some commercial artists that have number one after number one, and you go to their show, and the show's one-note. Yeah, they're all hit songs. But there's no emotion, because they're the same kind of hit songs, because they're what works at radio. That kills live shows for me.
Live shows have been going on for so long, can you really do something that's never been done before?
If you really see how many live shows are going on... you can start to do things that are out of the ordinary.
I find that I get most of the same things I loved about performing in the ring when I do my live shows around the world.
I love to perform. I love live shows.
One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It's so easy to forget that.
Enter Shikari are a mash-up of everything. I used to really love dubstep when they first came out. They had those amazing basslines, so I loved going to the live shows.
We look at our albums as stand-alone pieces of art and also as adverts for our live shows.
The behind-the-scenes kind of process at TV, especially live television - that was super scary, but I think it's made me more comfortable now. If I ever have to go on live TV, I at least remember what it was like when I was 16.
I come out of TV. I come out of live television, BBC drama: that's where I started first as a designer, then a director. Then I went independent TV, then television advertising.
I find television, and particularly live television, very romantic: the idea that there is this small group of people, way up high, in a skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan, beaming this signal out into the night.
'Saturday Night Live' is live television. Nothing can compare to that.
My job, live television, broadcasting, there's mania involved in there, too, but it's the good stuff.
Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.
When I started on 'Strictly,' I was terrified. Live television seemed like the most daunting thing in the world.
Being a professional wrestler surely prepares you for any acting role in that we have to act on live television, so there's a lot of pressure put there.
I started in live television and I've done a lot of live TV and that's really the thing that I love best. I love flying by the seat of my pants.
There are no rules in live television.
HQ kind of hearkens back to that old method of watching live television, when you couldn't DVR it.
