The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.

Mick Jagger

I don’t want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn’t bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags.
