I know a lot of people who have tremendous commercial success and they go directly for it. There's something that has always been difficult about that for me.

I was never writing for commercial success. It's nice that it has come, but it is not important.

It's pretty hard to make out what's going to be a commercial success and what's not.

Commercialism in the Western world has got us by the scruff of the neck. It's a technological takeover, and we can't even see it happening because we're too busy enjoying it.

Oh, well, I'd like to have commercial success. I guess.

We try some really interesting things besides being outright commercial.

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.

There are two kinds of success. One is musical or artistic and the other is commercial.

And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.

We love doing commercial and TV show work.
