» I've been asking the wrong question all my life. From the moment you embark on a professional career, you ask: "How high is my salary going to be?".

"Someone asked me: 'If I hadn't been successful in music, what would I have done with my life?' I asked them back: 'What is your definition of success in music? Is it fame? Is it a hit song? Is that success, and is that the only way to achieve happiness?'

Life, Usnisa Sukhsvasti, Published on 16/11/2015
» I find it quite amusing and amazing how Thai people live their lives like planets orbiting around various stars. The stars I'm talking about are not the celestial kind, but stars in the entertainment industry.
