Across the country military families are facing dire financial circumstances due to longer than expected tours of duties. They are being penalized for their patriotism - no one should have to choose between doing right by their country and doing right by their families.
Evan Bayh

Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.
Bernard Cornwell

Book tours are almost designed to beat out of an author any affection he has for his book.
Michael Lewis

But by us doing a lot on the road, we were able to afford things like videos on the tours, cartoons that we'd open up the shows with. We were doing that way back when and now it's the hippest thing to do. We're just coming back around, I guess trying to play catch-up.
Bootsy Collins

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.
John Lee Hooker

Especially with the signing of riders with climbing abilities and the new arrival of Tyler Hamilton, who has the strength and ability to become a great leader for the big tours. All in all, I feel this is a very complete team.
Laurent Jalabert

I also never went there when I was little because I was too busy working and traveling on national tours.
Christy Romano

I could not finish the rest of the tours the band had planned. I was replaced by Matt Cameron. The next years of my life were about recovery, healing, and right living. I never lost the need to create.
Jack Irons

I did three tours in Vietnam. I guess a total of about almost two years.
Morley Safer

I don't mind doing the Who tours when they come along but I want to get out there and play.
John Entwistle

I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.
Norman Granz

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.
Jewel Kilcher

I had been plunged into a different world. I found myself spending half my time answering weird questions on book tours in the Midwest. People would stand up and explain to me the situation in their office and ask me whether they should resign or not.
Kazuo Ishiguro

I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained.
John Bonham

I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over.
Mick Jagger

I still continue to do at least four concert tours a year, and in many cases, as many as six.
Norman Granz

I'm usually going to make a record, finish a record, start a record or start a tour or between tours.
Phil Collins

I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.
Alfred Molina

Life with a scientist who is often changing jobs and is frequently away at meetings and on lecture tours is not easy. Without a secure home base, I could not have made much progress.
John Pople

Many times I've gone on tours with Paul Anka. He would have someone sitting behind him to keep people from even talking to him. You were almost in a little restricted area there.
Ben E. King
