I decided to align myself with an attitude that says I'm already successful, that says the place I am is exactly where I'm supposed to be. We have an audience that instead of wishing it was something else or we had some recognition, I've started to really appreciate where we are and where I am and that I can make a living making art and performing and I have a lot of choice.

And not like wildly, but I found it amusing that when I didn't feel like I had... Like it's always, for decades, it's been like, if I can just get to the next level, then I'll have enough and it'll be okay. Just one level up, and then I can get a band when I go out solo, or then I can buy a house again, or do whatever. In California, it's nearly impossible. But it's like this... I don't know.

I don't think you can quantum trick the world into giving you what you want, but I think you can trick yourself into thinking you have what you want, and then you can just be happy and do what you want and success.
