The best thing about being on the road in general is just playing every single night in front of people that are genuinely fans of your music.

You have to spend a lot more time on the road these days if you want to make a living with music.

Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.

When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.

When you make albums like I do, and it's based off fanfare and based off touring - I make these albums, and I get on the road. It's not really a radio-driven thing. I get on the road, and I see my fans, and I touch each and every last one of them.

To go on the road and see people sing my own lyrics back to me is just fantastic.

No matter how much money I make, no matter how many hit songs. I still perform like a street performer.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to.

When I go on the road now, which is less than before, but still more than I'd like to, I think of myself primarily as a singer. Not a songwriter, not a celebrity, just a man who likes to sing.

You learn fast from others how to be an entertainer as well as a musician; you don't necessarily have to get out there and just play - you can be an entertainer, too.
