I've been touring for 25 years. I'm used to it, so I love it. Although I feel the tug of home, as I have three little kids, I don't suffer like some artists who constantly complain about how much they hate traveling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.
I love touring, I really do.
I've been touring for so long, I've kind of honed into exactly what I am, I'm an artist so if you like it, you like it, if you don't you don't, you know?
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
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.
Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.
Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.
Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.
Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.
