Dave Clark Quotes

I was lucky enough to get to perform on stage in front of 20 million people on TV, and 150 thousand in concerts. For 15 minutes I got to be a rock star, the 15 minutes is great! It turns into Spinal Tap after 20 minutes.

It's been amazing getting to go from city to city and perform for thousands of people. It's an amazing feeling, and the energy is crazy.

I'm not one of those spoiled rock stars who complains about how tedious it is to perform my old hits.

I make records so I can go on tour. There's nothing else. I love to go out and play for people.

I think the reason I got into the music business was basically for the live aspect of it.

I'm in a band, and we play music. And that's sort of my way of still being a rock star.

We are lucky to have a big fan base and that we can support ourselves doing live shows.

Being a rock star rocks.

Hillbilly Rock' was the song that opened the door and gave me a reason to get a bus and a band and cowboy clothes to go out there and figure it out in front of everybody. And the hits started coming.

I don't ever want to think my time is up as a performer. I have been afforded the opportunity to sell 150 million albums, to travel to places I never thought I would go. I'm going to keep on performing. I hope it never ends.

I'm not nervous coming back to my old audience. I'm looking forward to it. That's really what I do; that's my day job.

Things got big quickly for us, and playing arenas... it's like - and every band will tell you this - you don't see any of the town.

What I do miss that I don't get anymore? You're going to think I'm crazy, but you want the truth, so here it is. The lights! I miss the spotlights. I don't mean it figuratively. I mean it literally. I love the feeling of lights.

My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.

I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.

The stage is my comfort zone, and playing live is what I've always wanted to do. It's why I want to do two hundred dates a year. I wouldn't feel that way if I were nervous onstage.

I was very blessed with 'N Sync. It was a big success and it was a lot of fun.

Sometimes it feels like I've been in the business forever, but then other times, it feels like kind of a flash. Growing up, all I wanted to do was sing. All I wanted to do was get on a bus and ride around the country and sing for people and be a household name.

I need to show the world that my final goal is to perform huge concerts like Madonna.

I still do lots of gigs where I'm the support act and people are chatting through my set, but I've got better at grabbing attention. I mean, my parents would play on bills with people like Judas Priest and get booed all the way through. But they stuck it out, got tough.

You cannot imagine how great it is to step out on the stage with thousands of screaming fans loving you.

Growing up, I thought it would be great if I could do big theaters. Now we're doing arenas.

Obviously, fans are the beginning and end for any artist. The minute your fans embrace you and accept you, you begin this ride of being in music and having a career doing something you love. You get to go be a kid and live out your dreams by performing music for fans who come out to your shows.

Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.

I've never been in a band, but I've hung out with a lot of musicians and helped them with their shows. It's something that I'm really drawn to.
