"That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends"
About this Quote
As an actor talking about touring, Rich also slips into a musician’s vocabulary to claim credibility in that world. It’s a subtle border-crossing: he’s positioning himself less as a celebrity tourist and more as someone who earned chops through the grind. The informality (“like 5000”) reads as intentional authenticity, the kind of offhand detail that implies he’s not polishing the memory for a press kit.
Then he pivots to “learned a lot and made a lot of good friends,” which is the human ballast. Boot camp doesn’t just toughen you; it bonds you. The subtext is that the tour’s real payoff wasn’t just bigger crowds, but community and competence built in public, at volume, with no off days. In a culture obsessed with overnight success, Rich’s line quietly insists on the opposite: repetition is the origin story.
