I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn’t play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.
Doing something that you love regardless when it’s a blockbuster movie or you’re writing a pop song or trying shamelessly to succeed in something is not selling out.
It’s a really big struggle for me to write a song. Songs take either 30 seconds for me to write or a year or two to piece together, depending on the song and how I’m feeling on any given day.
