I knew I'd just done one of the most amazing things that I will ever get a chance to do. Just to be part of a musical that's not your background and to pull it off and to think that we've done something that's really special.
It was more than enough, but I'm completely satisfied that 'Virtual Self' got nominated for the Grammy. That is a complete victory for the project in my mind and anything else is just bonus.
If I can win grammys then that means all you yet to be seen bedroom geniuses will one day TAKEOVER THE WORLD
A good poem about failure is a success.
Out of Berklee Dream Theater was born and we've been together ever since. I didn't have to taste that feeling of defeat.
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.
'Margaret' as a creative entity is something that I'm very happy and proud of. But 'Margaret' as a professional experience was a nightmare until it was rescued by critics and people who liked it.
Illustrious acts high raptures do infuse, And every conqueror creates a muse.
Henry James joyously engaged in the act of writing. A good day's writing gave him a sense of strength, of control over chaos, a victory of order and clarity over the confused battle of existence.

Aesthetically, we were enormously successful. Economically... there was no success. It was all about music of the future and unfortunately it was a band that didn't have any future.
Young artists, I really love to see us winning.
