I really had a bad reputation for not doing the same things twice, and really with a vengeance. People would be like, “is that song?†It’s nice now to get people to expect that. I think I’ve worn a groove there that you don’t know quite what it’s going to be. But for me, I can’t go on the road and do the same things all the time. Drives me nuts."
