It's nice being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success so that makes it a bunch easier.

I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.

Success is a process a quality of mind and way of being an outgoing affirmation of life.

For me I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.

My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally I was able to stop waiting tables and I was able to pay the rent and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic but good enough to make a living.

Success is not a destination but the road that you're on. Being successful means that you're working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That's living your dream.

I feel true success comes from being able to work and the love for it.

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.

For example the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.

Put paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what it's about being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3 or living in an apartment with no electricity.
