When he's performing live, Day says, there's a distinct difference between the big gigs and the little shows. There's an intimacy lost on the big audiences, but there's also a sort of cool kind of buzz that you get from it too, like 'Wow -- there are 10,000 people here.' It tends to be a little more high energy, and you try to capture as many people as you can whereas with a small show, you reveal a little bit more personality. I almost feel like I'm there hanging out with them or something, ... We mix it up. I do little intimate shows just because if I go a long time without doing them, it gets kind of weird -- like I'm playing at people.
More Quotes from Howie Day:
I drive around in my car and listen to the demo. And if I drive by people I know, I have to roll the windows up and turn it down -- or if somebody calls, I have to turn it off.Howie Day
The day it comes out, there's already things that you start to go, 'Oh, I should have done that a little differently.' You start to make a list in your head. I actually write things down -- what I'm going to do next time.

Yeah, that was one crazy year. Basically my whole philosophy starting out -- because the question came up, 'Are you going to sign a label deal' before anyone was really interested in signing me -- my idea was always 'Just go out and do it yourself.' The hardest thing for a major record label to do is to build a solid foundation, a base, which is like the first 50,000 records -- that core fan base.
