If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.
Going back and forth between wanting to be respected artistically and wanting to move people is its own challenge.
Even with artists I love, only about a third of their music is what really hits the sweet spot for me.
If you know what kind of music somebody loves, then you can kind of figure out why they do what they do.
I've had nightmares about having to kick people out of my band because they've said that they don't like the Beatles. I'd wake up and turn to them and say, "You like the Beatles, right?"
What affected me the most about the Beatles was that they were the biggest band in the world and they could have done anything they wanted.
The musicians themselves don't seem to know enough about why they're in the positions they're in, so they're afraid to lose those positions.
If you're 22 years old and you can't believe you're even in the position to have a career making music, the first thing you're going to think is: Maintain. Don't lose it. And that's precisely what causes you to lose everything.
In the end, I think musicians know that getting up in the morning and making music you love doesn't necessarily mean that you deserve billions of dollars or worship from anybody.
No matter how naturally gifted you are, it's your passion that's going to make you better and maybe touch some people.
