Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.
At the moment I have my family coming out with me on the road. We have our own vehicle and its more like a family vacation. I just stop, do some gigs, and take off. Its a lot more fun now with the family.
Sometimes there are no gigs, but the main thing is the music. You can't take that away. The only person who can take that away from you is you.
Your wig steers the gig.
Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
The Bassbone works great in the studio or on the live stage. Throw it in your gig bag and take it wherever you go.
A lot of people don't think they can count on me, but I've never missed a gig in my life.
I wasn't very big on going to school. I tried to get a gig as a luthier.
My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.
I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.
I never thought that I could make a living out of my voice, to be completely honest. I thought that I could probably keep playing pubs. And it was exciting for me to get even just a pub gig in my town or country, when I went to university.
I tried the religion scam in Miami, so I know how hard that gig is. But, if you can get it to work, starting your own religion is a license to print money.
I can't imagine playing a boring gig. Like, a boring audience without reaction, I will play against them.
Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it.
After a gig I get to the hotel all psyched-up from being on stage and get stuck into 'Homes and Interiors' magazine.
Lindsay Lohan isn't a DJ, but because of her celebrity power she can do a gig somewhere, put her name on a flyer, and she'll probably bring in more people and make more money than I ever will.
With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before.
The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become.

I hate complacency. I play every gig as if it could be my last, then I enjoy it more than ever.
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
I want to be made better personally. That is the gig.
The idea of hearing, 'Great gig, man,' one more time just turns my stomach over.
I still remember the first gig where I got people going, it was Rascals in New Jersey, and the place was packed. I was scared. People were expecting me to be funny. I gotta be honest, every time I walk into a club, it's that same fear.
