When somebody has an enormous success in this culture, people start asking two questions, which are 'What are you doing now?' and 'How are you going to beat that?' And I have to say, I love the assumption that your intention is to beat yourself constantly - that you're in battle against yourself.
My work is all that I think about because I spent so many years not doing anything. Therefore, work pleases me, which is success in itself.
