“It's a funny thing... I started touring at nine or ten years old, and for the first ten, fifteen, almost twenty years of your career, you're the youngest guy on stage and the youngest guy in the room.”

Meaning

This reads as a reflection on being young inside an adult profession, and on the slow reversal that comes with time. It points to the oddness of starting out before most people around you, then eventually finding yourself among peers rather than elders. It lands for anyone who began very early and later had to redefine what experience looks like.
