I don't tour to make money: I do it because I love it. When I'm putting a tour together, I'm not sitting with number-crunchers, having them tell me I can't do this or that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm lucky that I enjoy touring as much as I do. I'm not going to make a living just making records.
I can still make a living with touring. And maybe you buy a t-shirt. And I would rather 10 million people get my record and listen to it for free than 500,000 that I coerced to pay $15 for it, you know?
A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.
I constantly tour, even when I don't have a record out.
I love touring, I really do.
Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
I've been on big tours ever since I started, but you can't just go out there and headline, you have to do it right.
I'd rather make music than tour.
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.
