Confused
I am confused with love and fear.
I am confused with the taste of my tear.
I am confused of where I'll go.
I am confused of what I'll know.
I am confused of whos my family.
I am confused of what makes me happy.
I am confused by what I do.
I am confused of what's true.
I am confused by your touch.
I am confused oh so much.

I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. That's the same view I have for performing. I'm performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home.
As a Welshman, I grew up in a culture of singing and performing with music, and I think it was through this performing that I got my confidence as an actor.

In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career.

Performing, for me, is like oxygen. Performing, for me, is like the only thing that is a constant in my life, because you’re in all different places doing all different things, but when I get up on stage, that’s where I know exactly what to do, that’s where I own it.

I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way...you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
I Am Confused
I see a horse
When I see a horse
Try to compose it
or, paint it.
All the time I see
a smiling donkey
on a white sheet.
I am confused
why it happens
Of all the lives
why it is donkey.
I am confused
why it happens
I am confused
I am confused.

I've been working at performing for five years now. I've been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16, 1 was performing in bars; I could have had legal problems, but it's also the only way to get to know what music is all about.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Songwriting is my gift from God.

The Groove
So here it gives again
Rape and pillage prooves
To win the public vote
Someone tell me who will take the prize
and who takes the fall
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
downtown comes again
and how most are shifting like a chameleon
someone tell me why she breaks my fall
and then breaks my heart
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
wow
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
so confused
when youre lost in the groove
