It is not always the people that are recognised to be the number one that really are number one. But the thing is that, as an artist, that is not what you should be in it for, you need to be in it to create impact... I disagree that if you're not charting, you're less creative. It's a big lie.

You walk past the window, you want the shoes, you want the outfit. You go in. They tell you the price. Your body calms down. The difference with music is that nobody tells you the price when you're deciding to pursue it. Here you're not told the price. You go for it, and along the way you discover the cost: the loss of family time, the disassociation from yourself, even your own self, what you give up to create.
