But once you become active in something, something happens to you. You get excited and suddenly you realize you count.

That incident ruined my reputation for 10 years. Get one Beatle drunk and look what happens!
Actually, I’ve done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew – everything. Then you see what happens and you’re already committed to dates. I’m just sort of putting out feelers this way.
