You can always boil down the life of a musician to touring, playing, and writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a musician is a noble profession.
The real test of a musician is live performance. It's one thing to spend a long time learning how to play well in the studio, but to do it in front of people is what keeps me coming back to touring.
Every record, you've got more experiences to draw on as a writer and a musician.
I think the death knell for any musician is getting a job that you like and pays enough that you just stay there forever.
I've always been around musicians and always been the songwriter who doesn't end up playing the music.
There's more to being a musician than just making music.
A musician is a professional, whether he or she is successful or not. The profession itself must be regarded as a stable job.
A musician's whole life is to listen.
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
If you go out and just play the old stuff and never write new stuff, you're not really a complete musician, you're a performer.
