Q: “How does it feel to have people literally idolizing you for what you’ve done in the music and created? You never set out to do that, you just set out to satisfy yourself probably, right?”
A: “Yeah, that's true. I think what it does is it sort of justifies what all of the work you put in. You know, all the years and the enjoyment you've had, you know. And you know, I think that means something, the fact that, you know, you can say, "Well, I worked hard and somebody appreciated it." You know, I think that's very gratifying to me, you know.”
