Sometimes when you have a record out, you think you're going to go in at No. 1 but you go in at No. 8. So your second record has to be better. That's how I treat it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You're only as good as your last record and you could get dropped.
I don't listen to my own records a lot. Once in a while - to check out my mistakes. Because you can always see a spot or two in the record where you could have done better. So you more or less study this way.
If you break an individual record, it's because of the greatness that comes before you.
I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.
But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.
If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.
I just want to write another record that's as good or better than the one I've already made. That's my main goal, to follow up stronger than before.
You're only as good as your last record.
A No. 1 record is hard to come by.
I've frowned at the idea of breaking records, the first one to do something, or do it longer, higher, more difficult.
