It’s always weird when you see a movie, and there’s no reason for someone to, like, jump on stage and be a singer, and then they just do that… But if it came organically, I would grab that mike and jump on stage for sure.

I’m not looking at any stage stuff at all. I’m going to give that a break for a while, if not forever, because I’ve done a huge amount of stage stuff and if the possibility of working in pictures comes along, I’d be silly if I didn’t grab it.
