Commercial Success Quotes

It has nothing to do with commercial success. You cannot calculate in your head how to put the mosaic together to make a commercial film: that's out of the question. Arthur Cohn
I was not doing what I was told to do. And they sued me for making music "uncharacteristic of Neil Young." That was Geffen Rocords' biggeest mistake, I think.

Oh, well, I'd like to have commercial success. I guess. Susanna Hoffs
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve. Davey Havok
When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person. Juliana Hatfield
