I don't think about how many records I'm selling. I just think about the music.

The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

一个人的孤独不是孤独，一个人找另一个人，一句话找另一句话，才是真正的孤独。
