I didn't become a commercially successful artist by design, and actually I think that commercially successful just means, if you analyse it, that a lot of people like you. It's become a dirty word, and I don't necessarily think it needs to be.

I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.
