At 25, my idea of success may have been more vain, like, "I'll be good the day that there's $20 million in my account and I have this particular house and the wife and 2.5 kids." But at 40 - and I know it's kind of silly telling you guys this - but as long as my Metacritic rating stays above 80, that's all I care about.
QuestloveI love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.
QuestloveClassical music requires an immense amount of concentration, and I don't know if I would've been that committed to that particular life.
QuestloveI feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic. And you know, I don't sit there, I don't bask in the awards I've won, you know, read my bank statements, I refuse. To me, that's how you start losing the hunger. So for me personally, I just don't celebrate it. I'm happy, right now.
