Well, yeah. At a certain point, you've got to be really honest with yourself. Like, 'Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?' Like, if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you've got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it's a labour of love and it's something you're actually legitimately good at, then it's not that hard to keep plugging away.

Being rich and famous isn't all happiness and at times the pressures have got to me.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

You'll know if you're a famous composer if 20 years from now your name appears on a pull-down menu in Band in a Box, alongside Hans Zimmer.
