Being in Pentatonix, we basically toured year round, so it was tough to just get a break.
I don't have a lot of recreation time. I've always been under the assumption that if you're selling tickets you need to work. The kind of success that's happened to me maybe only happens to one comedian every twenty years and so I'm on the road constantly.
My touring has never stopped; from the time I started doing stand-up, I've been on the road.
Musicians are always gigging and never have a chance to stop for a minute.
I basically say I'm on tour all the time, because one tour goes into the next.
I tour all year, 42 weeks a year, so it's hard for me to remember every place I play.
I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.
I keep telling everybody that touring has now become my normal life and that normal life is like a very odd vacation.
The twenty minutes or more we spend inside the ring, that's the fun part. It's the rest of our lives that's the real battle - the ruthless backstage politics, the constant traveling, the endless mental and physical aches and pains.
I don't want to get caught up and be an artist always on the go. Because once you do that, it's hard to get into the studio and do what I do.
