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.
Phil Collins

All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.
