I've turned down a lot of roles to make time to record and tour.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it's just getting the right balance that's important.
I'm lucky that I enjoy touring as much as I do. I'm not going to make a living just making records.
I guess some of today's programming has rubbed off on me because I find myself having to set time around for touring, putting that together and then setting time around for recording.
I'm just not going to tour. One point I want to get across to everybody is that I'm still going to make records and I may still do some events. It's not the last time I'm onstage. It's been a part of my life for too long to quit everything. I have done it since the '80s, and I think it's time now to maybe see if I can live without that part.
I don't plan tours necessarily around records. I know that's what most people do.
I made a few records here and there by default, but I wasn't ever comfortable in that role. I wasn't comfortable on stage. We'll see how it goes this time.
I have a great time touring.
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
I constantly tour, even when I don't have a record out.
A lot of times I go back to record and to make a tour, but I'm very happy to do it, because it gives me an opportunity to dig and hear what's going on.
