Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

Success and the art of making music are two different things

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker distinguishes between two distinct concepts: success and the artistic process. Success, in this context, represents achieving external recognition and outcomes, such as commercial popularity or financial gain. On the other hand, the "art of making music" denotes the personal, creative, and expressive aspects of creating music. It implies that the speaker does not equate success with being a skilled or passionate musician. Instead, they value the intrinsic value and experience of making music, regardless of external validation or achievements.

As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.

I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid, too, and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me, a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool.
