I say that I get paid to travel, and I play the shows for free.
Money's really - you know, song writing, yes, there's money to be made and things like that. But really, when you talk about the real money, you talk about touring. No question.
Mark Crew, the only producer we've ever worked with, has been joining us on tour as often as possible.
If Daryl stopped touring it would be a big part of him missing.
I can't afford back up vocalists; they're so expensive. Because I'm independent - I'm not signed to a major label, which a lot of people don't know, and it doesn't matter anyway. I can't just have an eight-piece band touring. One day - definitely. That's like a goal.
I've invested a couple million into touring, and that's paid off.
The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time.
I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.
Touring is really hard because you're gone for three months at a time.
It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
When you're a solo artist and you have a band on tour you have to pay the band some salary. You don't realise the expenses, the way they add up SO quickly. But thank god I'm not a money person. So it doesn't really bug me at all, I mean it's more comical to me.
People think that there is so much money in tennis, but the reality is unless you're ranked in about the top 50 you don't earn much at all. It is hard to support yourself travelling the world, to be away from home most of the year and to pay for a coach to help you become a better player.
One of the things I've heard musicians say that's true is, 'I would play for free. I would play music forever, but you have to pay me to travel.' I know we're always going to make music. The traveling part - that is the most wear and tear on any human.
