I constantly tour, even when I don't have a record out.

I wish records got made faster and looser with less thought in them, but since touring is so much more profitable than records, you spend so much time on the road that it's hard to work on them. And the records get further and further apart.

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

The years keep going by and you realize, Wow. Doing these records is such a process: going on tour for a year and a half, then you get home and you want to do other things.

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.

Traditionally, tours were a means of promoting a record. Today, the record promotes the tour.

I don't go on tour tours - I just go randomly to cities to do shows if I have an opening in my schedule.

That whole lifestyle - make a record, do a tour: I know how to do that. It doesn't interest me.
