You Can Want Success All

For Me, Being With Obama Or Having Dinner With Bill Clinton... It's Crazy. It's Mind-blowing, Because Where I Come From Is Just Another World. We Were Just Ignored By Politicians, By America In General.

The Fans Get To See You, And You Can Do Great By Your Record If You Have A Great Performance Or A Great Night There. That's All Part Of The Business. But At Their Core, Awards Shows Are Not Really A Sincere Thing. For A Lot Of Years, The Artists Had To Pay To Play Their Own Set.

Kurt Cobain Od'd On Heroin Before Committing Suicide, But He Also Od'd On Fame. Cobain Was Like Basquiat: They Both Wanted To Be Famous, And Were Brilliant Enough To Make It Happen. But Then What? Drug Addicts Kill Themselves Trying To Get That Feeling They Got From Their First High, Looking For An Experience They'll Never Get Again. In His Suicide Note, Cobain Asked Himself, "why Don't You Just Enjoy It?" And Then Answered, "i Don't Know!" It's Amazing How Much Of A Mindfuck Success Can Be.

Artists Can Have Greater Access To Reality; They Can See Patterns And Details And Connections That Other People, Distracted By The Blur Of Life, Might Miss. Just Sharing That Truth Can Be A Very Powerful Thing.

Their Gunnin' For Me, Want To See Me Fall, You Know My Story, Been Through It All, Times I Felt Like Dyin', But I Ain't Cryin', What Didn't Kill Me, Makes Me Strong As Iron.
