Touring is easy. My wife will be with me a lot of the time. We get spoilt rotten, and all I have to do is go on stage in wonderful places and play music.
Having a United States passport has been an incredible asset, and I hope that will continue to be the case.
This job is like stealing. I travel first class in a nice plane. I have a driver waiting for me. I go in a room and have room service. I have a meeting. Then I go to the best game of the weekend and talk football - and they pay me.
I'm getting paid to tour and travel and I don't have to work a shitty job. And it's weird because you like start getting pissed off about that.
The good thing about coming over to the UK is that I can get some rest.
They decided as part of my 75th birthday celebrations that I would be entitled to fly first class. I'll be honest, I'm not good at flying anymore. To my credit, I can stretch out on two coach seats.
I'm lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.
Normally for work I will fly business class.
The thing I miss about Air Force One is they don't lose my luggage.
Often in my game as an actor, someone else pays for your travel and there's nothing like being able to lie flat on a flight home from L.A.
Where's the great pay? Where's the travel? Where's the Winnebago, Goddamnit!
You may not have any interest in Clemson whatsoever, but if Clemson calls, and they want to pay for you to come, and feed you and put you in a hotel, well, who doesn't want to go do that? Sign me up. Let's go, man.
I do like touring. Sometimes it's crazy. We're really lucky and we've gone all over the world. You can't complain about getting paid to see the world. I've had to reel myself in a little bit at some points.
I was very excited when I first started to travel so much. In fact, I was amazed that people were paying me to travel to play the game I loved.
Whenever I play Las Vegas, they always give you a suite, and it's really nice, and it always comes with a large bathtub.
That's the attraction of the conference circuit: it's a way of converting work into play, combining professionalism with tourism, and all at someone else's expense. Write a paper and see the world! I'm Jane Austen - fly me!
We were filming in Greenland, and I treated my crew. It's 24 hours of pretty bright daylight there right now, and I always try to do something nice for my crew every trip or in every other city. So I greeted them with a midnight cruise, but it looked like two in the afternoon.
I buy all my perfumes duty free - I think people are fools not to.
Being able to go on location and see the world was the greatest perk of all.
In Cincy, we're told how much Gatorade we could take home. In Houston, we get what we request. You get soap and deodorant at your request. You don't have a roommate on road trips.
I love that you can pick up your phone at a hotel and have something to eat in your bed. I love home, but there are amenities at a hotel that you simply don't have at home.
The fun of working on the road means stealing from hotels. I've been doing it for so long, I have a set of towels from the Ark.
I'm doing what I love. I'm enjoying the perks of the job-the travel. I am having a great time being a shape shifter and I'm really getting a kick out of it. I love my job.
Players are spoiled by charter airplanes, the finest hotels, a big per diem every day.
