In a perfect world, I would do 3 weeks on 3 weeks off; so that I could always take a breather and come back to music with a fresh mind.
I hope to always be able to relate to my fans and be in the moment with the world and the community. I think as you gain popularity it's easy to loose touch and become disconnected.
I think the reason people connect so well with my music is because there is a real connection.
On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.
Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.
Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.
You can't start a fire in the pouring rain.
