You know, times change and the elements change along with it. The elements of success. And my son's very successful. He's doing very well. And I have a younger daughter who sings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
I guess for me what is more significant than success is the nature of each of the songs and of the words.
My secret to success is that I've always loved good music and people.
Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.
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.
I'm here now because of my faith. That's what got me singing and what has kept me singing. That is what I have: what has kept me doing right and has provided me with the chances and the attitude and the skills to do this.
Success is a completely abstract thing - it has no bearing on daily life, family matters, the matter of artistic creation, but it can affect grace, and if I lose that, I really have gained nothing from success.
All my success seems to come straight away, and it's not until later that I get to appreciate it. Like with 'Popstars,' I won the competition, and now I look back and go, 'God, I was lucky to have number-one singles and albums.'
Success is based on music, not where you're from.
I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
