Dave Clark Quotes

I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you're gone.

For us as entertainers traveling, the schedule gets really crazy - flying all the time, being on a bus tour, changing hotels every day. And it's challenging.

Hmmmm... It's fun being in front of people, playing shows and all. But hotels? Being away from home? That's different.

I love being on tour and having my own tour bus.

I've been traveling around to play music since before I even had a driver's license.

I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road.

And, in some ways I like traveling, in other ways I'm sort of fed up by the whole notion.

I mean, what's great about touring is that's what you do. You're in a constant state of motion and then you stop to do a show and you move onto the next city. All you have to do is do the show. That's the only responsibility that you have.

We play a long show, and you can't beat yourself up too much over it, as physically you just kill yourself. It was always good fun on the road and it still is.

I love touring, I really do.

Touring is great because I love to travel.

I just completed a tour in Europe. I played every night. This requires traveling some days for six hours in a van or a train or a car. After six weeks of that, I checked into the hotel and just fell apart.

As you go along, you literally collect places. I'm fed up with going to places; I shan't go to anymore.

I have a great time touring.

Every job has its downside. For example, being in a band; the travel part of it - getting picked up from your house in a car, going to the airport, getting on a plane, going from the airplane to a van, then going from the van to a hotel.

I love the road. The closest thing to home, for me, is being on a tour bus, ironically.

It seems effortless and fun, and obviously it's hard work, but we love road life.

The thing about touring is you get to see the world, man.

Touring is something I do really well.

When you're 17, touring is fun.

I always want to be touring.

All the things people hate about touring, I'm excited for, because I've never done it before. I'm excited to see places I've never seen and be in the van and see if I get carsick while reading.

My life has become a series of planes, trains, and automobiles with some occasional downtime at a hotel.

Broadway is another monster. I've been touring since I was 12 years old and I love being on the road - one day you're here, next day it's snowing, and the next you are in a desert and it's 110 degrees. So I guess I'm kind of used to the madness physically that you go to when you are an entertainer. But it's been great.

I like to travel. I love touring, I love playing.
