About this Quote

In this quote, musician Jason Newsted reflects on the words of fellow artist Tom Waits, who notoriously declared, "I do not want to grow up." Newsted associates with this sentiment and discusses that he actively selects to live his life in such a way that allows him to keep a childish spirit. He explains his profession as a musician, where he gets to play loud music and yell on stage, as a method to keep the carefree and playful nature of childhood. By embracing this frame of mind, Newsted is able to reject the societal pressure to conform to adulthood and instead live life on his own terms.
