I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.
From Chris Isaak
When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.
I think I'm in a really nice position, where I'm sure I could do another show if I wanted to do one, but right now the main thing in my mind is writing songs.
I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.
I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.
One thing, when you're an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you're a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I'm working on new stuff for a new album right now.
The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00.
I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?
In the long run, there are people who've made more money or had bigger stardom at points. But, I think I'll have come out winning.
I got by as a musician since day one. I don't live beyond my means. I have real cheap tastes.
