I really just compete against myself. I look at my previous material and try to surpass what I've done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been in a competitive situation almost all my life. I've been having a competition with myself and trying to be the best I could be.
I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.
I have to believe that if I keep doing what I'm doing, the results will reflect that, and I'll give myself plenty more opportunities to win.
I view my strongest competition as myself. You're always trying to top yourself, rather than worrying about what other people are doing.
If people believe in your material, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Even if they don't, but you make it as awesome an experience as possible, they will help you reach your goals.
As soon as I hear the word 'competition' I get serious and start doing everything that I can do.
To work on great material, what you really end up working on is yourself, your own humanity.
I'm an ambitious person. I never consider myself in competition with anyone, and I'm not saying that from an arrogant standpoint, it's just that my journey started so, so long ago, and I'm still on it and I won't stand still.
I'm competitive with myself.
I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
