When you ad-lib, when you're just talking. The thoughts come slowly, as against acting where you should get on with it because you have to have energy in the scene, at least in my opinion. You can be relaxed and laconic but you have to get on with it – get to the core of what you're doing. Something happens unless you choose not to do that. When you're talking, your thoughts aren't organized because you don't know what you're going to say next. Whatever comes out of your mouth is going to be heard by a lot of people, but you can't think of that because you'll get tongue-tied. You just have to let it go. That's what the experience is worth, I think – you just have to let it go. If you say something on tour you hope everybody will forgive you because you don't know what's coming out of your mouth next.
