Tour Quotes

I often feel that I have a split personality. I love more than anything to be in my study writing, but when it’s time to do a book tour, I love that extroverted part, too - talking to people, reading, traveling, going out into the world Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure whether I’ve been happy. After my last book tour, I sat on my balcony with a cup of tea. I thought: ‘You can’t rewind the movie. I’ve spent more than half my life in the Middle East. There have been great moments of horror and depression and loneliness.’ Picture Quote #1

There’s only one thing more frightening than being asked to do a book tour, and that’s not being asked to do a book tour Picture Quote #1

I’ve been out on the book tour going through Pittsburgh, St Louis and Cleveland, Dayton and Orlando, Raleigh-Durham. I sign many books for people Picture Quote #1

I am so glad I was writing while on my last book tour, which was really meta, but I think a fascinating look inside the reality of what that whole madness is about Picture Quote #1

Justin Bieber’s tour bus was stopped by Canadian border patrol agents. And they found marijuana. The agents said Bieber was a disgrace to Canada and should never come back. Then they found the marijuana Picture Quote #1

To me, the idea of living this lifestyle is so boring that I would prefer to read Marcel Proust the whole time during a tour Picture Quote #1

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place Picture Quote #1

I don’t do intoxicants on tour too often. It slows me down mentally, and it feels like killing brain cells Picture Quote #1

Over time, certain people don’t want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band Picture Quote #1

When I first went on tour with PJ in 98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It’s like a breath of fresh air Picture Quote #1

In many ways Bright Eyes is really a studio project. We form bands to tour, but it really is - you know, we take the songs and we figure out how to decorate them and it’s all in the studio; we build the songs that way Picture Quote #1

The difference between the American version of ‘Live Aid’ and the British one - in England, if you wanted a cup of tea, you made it yourself. If you wanted a sandwich, you bought it. In typical American style, at the American concert, there were laminated tour passes and champagne and caviar Picture Quote #1

If you want to get broken in good, put four girls on the road together in a van and tour up and down the country Picture Quote #1

The tour bus is always fun, and there’s plenty of time to watch movies. Actually, Kanye introduced me to the movie ‘Step Brothers.’ We were sitting there, watching it and clowning around - it was so funny, man Picture Quote #1

I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I`m just going to fly them out and let them hang. It`s all good Picture Quote #1

Well we usually just try to do a mix from all the albums so if somebody just has one they don’t get bummed out that they don’t hear anything from that record, then a couple songs you’ll only hear live. Just kind of wing it you know? And sometimes on a tour you’ll get with a set-list you like and you kind of just stick with that Picture Quote #1

I’d rather sleep on the bus than in the hotel because I sleep way better on tour buses Picture Quote #1

I’m so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung Picture Quote #1

I often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6am when no one is around, I’d just write Picture Quote #1

You know, I didn’t have enough money to quit my day job... the myth of the major label deal. Nowadays, you have a tour bus and a stylist and all this stuff. But back then, no way Picture Quote #1

On our American tour bus, the bunks are a bit taller so that we don’t bash our heads. On the English bus, we bash our heads every morning. It’s not the best thing to do first thing when you wake up Picture Quote #1

I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn’t use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an honor Picture Quote #1

I see myself traveling; I see myself with a much bigger living space than I do have right now. I see myself hopefully on a tour bus at some point Picture Quote #1

People weren’t buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me Picture Quote #1

I once came back from a book tour where sleek black cars driven by nice men in black suits waited for me at every hotel, took me to every signing, brought me back, opened car doors for me. They were great. I was great. It was a wonderful tour Picture Quote #1

I studied the lives of jazz singers who would tour Europe, and... what I learned was life was big ride for them. They’d seen the dark side of humanity... but touring the world playing jazz, it was a truly carefree way of living. A great escapism, if you like Picture Quote #1

Toting around a full orchestra on tour is very ambitious. I would consider doing a show now and then, like do a show at Radio City or Carnegie Hall with a full orchestra Picture Quote #1
