I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.

I've done a lot of different tours. For me, I try to go on tours that I think are gonna be fun. It's, like, grueling, and it's hard, and there's got to be an element to it that's exciting.

I've done the big 12-city tours, and I'm never going to do that again - never. I was younger then. It wears you out, you know.

I'm basically always on tour.

I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.

I don't plan tours necessarily around records. I know that's what most people do.

Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you're onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.

When you first start doing it, being on tour is inspiring, because you've never been anywhere.
