"When you wake up on a tour bus at 3:30 a.m. and you're sick as a dog, you're in the middle of nowhere and you've got to play your fifth show later that night, and you haven't slept, and you miss your friends, and you're missing your family, and you're completely lonely and miserable and sick — and you say to yourself, 'Why am I doing this?' The only answer can be: Because this is what I'm born to do."
