When I was in employment as a regular line pilot, I used to take unpaid leave to go on tour with Iron Maiden. I got lucky - they let me off. (Bruce Dickinson)
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. View quote
Adam Lambert
I think I'm a fun flatmate. I'm always cheerful. I go on tour with my band so it's 12 people on one bus and I feel like I'm the one who's happy in the morning. I'm not a chaotic person, but I might slack off on doing the dishes from time to time. View quote
Zooey Deschanel
I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll. View quote
Rufus Wainwright
Whether or not I tour forever, I'm not sure. I would love to spend more time living in harmony with nature rather than flying all over the world and contributing to global warming, you know what I mean? View quote
Jason Mraz
I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me. View quote
Noel Gallagher
Performing is the craziest workout for me, because I feel like, on the first day of tour, I'm going nuts. Halfway through, I'm just so tired but obviously you keep pushing yourself because you have fans watching you. View quote
Hayley Williams
My favourite two festivals have always been the Big Day Out and Summersonic in Japan. The Big Day Out is a little more fun because it lasts longer. It's like an abbreviated version of the Warped tour because you get to play with the same people every day, which is really fun. View quote
Gerard Way
It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down. View quote
Elvis Costello
When you are a rock star in front of 20,000 people, you receive instant gratification. A rock star on tour is a king in his domain. View quote
Gene Simmons
I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall in my GaGa shoes one night on tour and I'm hoping it becomes a Youtube sensation. (Chris Colfer)
The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man, the next thing you know, they're going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him. View quote
Jon Stewart
But I don't mind, I'm a bit of a touring animal. When I'm on tour that is the greatest thrill for me, playing to a live audience. View quote
Vanessa Mae
If you get half a million, at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people, if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now. View quote
John Mayer
I'm not one for Sudoku or crosswords - the thing that fires my little brain is doing tour budgets. View quote
Ian Anderson (musician)
I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets - this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it. So Vive le Tour forever! View quote
Lance Armstrong
The Tour (de France) is essentially a math problem, a 2,000-mile race over three weeks that's sometimes won by a margin of a minute or less. How do you propel yourself through space on a bicycle, sometimes steeply uphill, at a speed sustainable for three weeks? Every second counts. View quote
Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong: How bad do you want to win a stage in the Tour de France? Floyd Landis: Real bad. Armstrong: How fast can you go down hill? Landis: I go downhill real fast. Can I do it? Armstrong: Sure you can do it ... run like you stole something Floyd. View quote
Lance Armstrong
Without cancer, I never would have won a single Tour de France. View quote
Lance Armstrong
I don't think that much anymore in terms of 'write a record, record a record, tour a record,' because in my own mind, things have changed, in that I'm just an ongoing artist. I'm not quite sure what the next project needs to be until it presents himself, and then I know. I just follow dutifully while I'm being led. View quote
PJ Harvey
If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature. (Eddie Vedder)
I've been lucky to have made a number of travel programmes with the BBC, the object being to see places off the beaten track. As a result, I've often had a guide who's been able to show me things that you wouldn't see with a tour group. View quote
Michael Palin
On tour I'm so invisible to myself, it's just one task after another. View quote
Leslie Feist
(Picture of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones appear) This week, the California Raisins announced plans for a new world tour. View quote
Amy Poehler
It's unacceptable to tour using non-environmentally friendly fuel when there are alternatives. View quote
