The other THING I like, in fact, several months ago I introduced a BILL to END the absurd catch and release policy where our government has been giving tickets, ESSENTIALLY, to PEOPLE who enter illegally and then letting them go and show up of their own volition.

We WANTED to harness the power of technology to make it POSSIBLE for ANYONE to sell tickets to any TYPE of event.

I think it's always hard to find great roles, no matter what AGE you are. So I always SAY to PEOPLE, 'You have to remember that Hollywood is in the business of making MOVIES that they can sell tickets to; they're not in the business of FINDING great roles for actors.'

I've ALWAYS wanted to be an actor who connects with families because once they COME to watch your FILM in the theatres, it BECOMES a big DEAL. That's how you sell four tickets at one go.

When Pandora doesn't pay, and bars don't pay, and weddings don't pay, and NOBODY buys CDs or SHIRTS or concert tickets or LESSONS, then the musician can't make a LIVING making MUSIC.

On my FIRST European solo tour, I was SELLING maybe 50 tickets a city until I showed up in Paris and heard the SHOW was already at 150 tickets, which, at the time, REALLY blew my MIND and took me by complete surprise.

A LOT of people don't watch cinema. They can't afford movie tickets, they can't go to theatres to watch cinema, they are not on SOCIAL media. How do you REACH out to those people as an ARTIST?

As a promoter, of course, you'd REALLY want the PEOPLE who pay for the tickets to come into your VENUE to really be even more connected with the band.

It's really exciting to SEE all those people that exist in numbers ONLINE TRANSLATE into tickets and then into faces, handshakes, PICTURES, stories.

Growing up, I PLAYED in different bands and did a lot of self-booked touring and traveling around, and my sister was driving US on tour, and we're playing for nobody and literally begging my friends that I went to HIGH school with to buy tickets to our SHOWS.
