“If people want consultative government, the price is increased complexity and delay in arriving at decisions. If they want speed of government, then they must accept a greater degree of authoritarianism.

“It's a very selfish time. When I'm here at home, my responsibilities are far greater. I'm forced to be way more selfless. My priorities are so far down the list that it's hard to see them. And yet, when I'm on tour, I basically have to get the show right, every night, but the days are really constructed around selfish activities for self-improvement, or not. That's where I feel guilty because I know that life is going on full-speed when I'm not around.” KnowsWayFeelsSelfHardShowsHomeLife IsNightResponsibilityGreaterActivitySelf ImprovementSpeedListsSelfishImprovementPrioritiesGuiltySelflessEvery Night Author:Gavin Rossdale
