If I'm playing in the morning I'll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I'm playing in the afternoon I'll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play so I don't feel sluggish or full.
I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day and you go in and do a sound check and you do the show and then bam you're gone.
I am really passionate about my career and my music and I am so lucky to be able to do what I do for a job so for all the early morning starts and long days I could never trade it all in.
I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write I prefer to write in the morning until midday and in the afternoon I eat.
Later in the early teens I used to ride my bike every Saturday morning to the nearest airport ten miles away push airplanes in and out of the hangars and clean up the hangars.
Early in the morning I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time we were so naive. I wanted to charm her so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.
It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway because you - you know you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.
It's hard to think of yourself as a brand especially when I have four daughters who kick my butt early in the morning every day before I go to work.
But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn't know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing but I knew I could work hard at it and so I did.
I get up early in the morning 4 o'clock and I sit at my desk and what I do is just dream. After three or four hours that's enough. In the afternoon I run.
