It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row.

I seem to spend a minimum of eight hours a day in transit of some sort or another… that’s eight hours of your life gone. People always ask if I suffer from jet lag, but it’s kinda become really normal for me… Although the jet lag does become a factor and you’re pretty much always tired.

Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger.
