I like touring, I like being in the studio, a bit of both. I like to have a bit of time at home as well.
John Deacon

That's one of the great things about touring. It makes you machinelike in a way that you can re-create this music not only in the right way but even better than when it was conceived.
Mike Patton

I'm really happy doing what I'm doing. I'm not looking to do anything else. I love what I do. I love music. I love playing. I love touring.

6.
Touring is hard on the body.
Eminem
7.
In general I usually don't really go by or live my life by a clock and outside of touring I don't really ask anyone else to. It's not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.
Axl Rose

In the crazy world of touring, if something gets stuck at customs, I can do a show with just my amp!

Louise Jameson
17.
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.
Bootsy Collins
18.
A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.
Joan Jett
19.
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
Daniel Johns
20.
It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.
Mac DeMarco
21.
There hasn't been one highlight that stands out... but touring and performing has been great.

Glenn Danzig
26.
The Beatles tried to do some tours and found it to be completely pointless and became a non-touring band after that, and with very good reason.
Robbie Robertson
27.
I love playing and I like traveling. I really do like playing in Canada, its not to diminish anywhere else because touring internationally can be cool.
Joel Plaskett
28.
I'm very particular about everything. That goes along with the artwork, and how it's laid out, and every lyric. So it's pretty much all in my hands, which is crazy to be touring and doing that at the same time.
BØRNS
29.
Ive been touring now since about 68.
Joe Cocker
30.
I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?
Kelly Osbourne
31.
I'm doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.
Dave Lombardo
32.
Something funny always happens in every show in the UK and I genuinely love touring the UK because it's where I'm from. I just get a warm feeling when I'm home.

I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.
Julian Lennon
35.
If Daryl stopped touring it would be a big part of him missing.

36.
Touring can be tough; the crew and I travel everywhere by a big pink bus, and live in petrol stations.
Marina and the Diamonds
37.
Touring definitely makes you appreciate home more, so when I can be home, I like to stay home.

38.
Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.

39.
I love touring - I don't do it as often as I should.
Jewel

Dolly Parton

Touring isn't traveling. Everyone should know that. And I would absolutely recommend a month of solo touring - that is, no driver, no merch person, no tour manager - to anyone in the position to do such a thing. But just once. You grow a lot in those situations, like when you spend a Christmas alone (which I also recommend). But, again, only once. That will be enough.
Wooden Wand
42.
I think comics in New York are interested in being comics. And there're comics in L.A. who are touring comics, who are certainly more interested in stand-up, but a lot of L.A. stand-ups are really looking to do something else.
Lewis Black
43.
My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.
Juliana Hatfield
44.
I do like touring but my life sort of starts to fall apart under it after a certain point. So you just have to stop. And it's hard to.
Emily Haines
45.
I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

If I stopped touring tomorrow, it wouldn't change my life.
John Oates

I was touring a lot... I loved the touring because you could really feel the audience. You were much closer to everything.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

49.
I tend to write better when I'm not touring.
Keith Urban
50.
Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.
