I love touring - I don't do it as often as I should.
I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.
My whole goal is to keep my spirit intact. If that doesn't happen, none of this is worth it.
You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
It's important to cultivate a tolerance and patience with uncomfortable feelings. It's best to feel them.
My life has been full of struggles - coming from a troubled home, moving out when I was fifteen, ending up homeless by eighteen. The one thing I always knew was being jaded and bitter was equal to letting life win.
