Once you're successful with a certain kind of music, it's hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The nature of the music business is such that it's better to have a few chances for some things to be successful than just one, and that's kind of been my attitude all along.
Success is based on music, not where you're from.
A lot of people have told me along the way that my style and the music I do... is unmarketable. But the only reason I'm successful is because I have stayed true to myself.
That's a beautiful thing. The more successful you are, the more people are going to come and be a part of music.
Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.
When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.
It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.
