I say that I get paid to travel, and I play the shows for free.
Originally the dream was about traveling and developing a job that would permit me to travel. And I decided to go into street performing because it was a traveling job; it would let me go around the world.
I am a touring artist - I get a kick out of it, like, a huge kick.
By virtue of my job, I'm traveling. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other except on the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that's rare, and we cherish it.
My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
Being an actor is well paid, but it's a bit like being a circus traveler.
I don't really have an average week, and because I travel so much with my job, it means I don't always have a typical weekend, either.
We are on the road 250-280 days a year at least, and it's something that, if I have a wife and kids at home, I don't know if I could do it.
