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.

So I'm in that half-hour business where the most money is, so that eventually I feel like the people that put on the Dupont show, like maybe my artistic effort is going to be a little different.

That's always my downfall on tour: the food. I just want to eat everything.

I think the number one safe haven where people put their money is to invest in yourself first.

I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.

I'm lucky that I enjoy touring as much as I do. I'm not going to make a living just making records.

There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.

It's hard finding people you trust or who aren't going to take your money. Everyone wants to get a piece of whatever you're doing. It's a nightmare.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.

I never want to be in that stage where a band ends up playing state fairs and casinos. I am not willing to go out shooting up Botox and eating corn dogs while judging pig contests.
