A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.
I've been touring for 25 years. I'm used to it, so I love it. Although I feel the tug of home, as I have three little kids, I don't suffer like some artists who constantly complain about how much they hate traveling.
I really don't work a whole lot as far as touring, but I do stand-up every night of my life, no matter where I am. It's really made the touring a lot less grueling.
My touring has never stopped; from the time I started doing stand-up, I've been on the road.
Touring is an incredibly isolated situation. I don't know how people tour for years on end. You find a lot of people who can't stop touring, and it's because they don't know how to come back into life. It's sort of unreal.
Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.
When you tour, it's so hard on the body. Being in one place is cool. It's a more stable environment.
Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.
Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.
