I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.
History has repeated itself many times througout the ages.
Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.
I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.
I've been an amature inventor for a long time.
